In my personal exploration of minimalism, I find being too minimal cuts into resilience (see "Team of Teams"). I've since changed to pursuing "minimal but resilient," which accepts that things wear out or get lost, so you need more than one of some things, and that sometimes not having something used once or twice per year creates a crisis. Finally, in line with the commenter who said deep minimalism depressed them, I also hold onto things that make me happy, even if I don't use them much.
