"Commonly referenced bike tools I don't have:
Chain tool, chain checker, vise whip, cassette lockring tool, spoke wrenches, sprocket removal tool, bracket wrench, cone wrenches, crank extractor, cartridge bottom bracket tool and (sigh) work stand."
You do not need a chain checker - a 12" ruler works just as well.
Vise whip - yes, they are great.
Spoke wrench - get a good one for the nipples you use, and a cheap multi size one to handle other nipple sizes.
Sprocket removal tool ????
bottom bracket wrench - too many different ones to collect all of them.
Work stand - a nice to have, not needed.
