I think this is a good start if you are saying "minimum viable web developer". Plenty of programming doesn't involve the web. In the context of web development, though, I'd add/change: 1. Decent familiarity with HTTP. 2. Fairly good Linux skills. I guess this may not be applicable if you want to stick with the .NET stack, but most developers are going to use something like RoR, Node, Java, etc in their lifetime and those, for the most part, are hosted in Linux environments. 3. I like Java more than the average developer, and agree that it can be really useful for getting your foot in the door at a lot of places, but I don't know that it is important enough to be required for the MVWD.
