My memory may be faulty here but I think the reason for limiting packages
is because whatever's on the Live image gets installed on the system.

I agree that Gparted would be good to have but I just use System Rescue CD
in these situations.

Thanks,

The Live ISO's come with fdisk, but not gdisk. If a tool is going to
be supplied on x86_64, it should be gdisk given GPT has supplanted MBR
over the last 10 years plus. Plus, Anaconda switched to GPT in 2022;

It's been some time since I had a need for it, but AFAIK,
fdisk from util-linux has supported GPT partitions for quite
a while now.  That should largely negate the need to add
gdisk to live images, I think.

Whether gparted makes sense is another matter, of course.  I
have found it handy as well, but I also found it simple
enough to install in the live image when I needed it.  For
whatever little that datapoint is worth. :)

I am not sure of the exact limit that fedora developers work too.
But if you look in the devel mailing list archive you will find discussions 
about exceeding the limit and what will have to be done to fix it.

fdisk works just fine with GPT.  I use it often.
