Yes, if you want projects you (a workspace) you need more of an IDE.

By this you mean a project nature?

Yes, that's minimal product available.

Or features.

Yes.

Yes, some thing only contribute extensions but some things won't
function without such extensions, but that's not expressed as a
requirement that PDE can know about.

Yes, it help keep things minimal.

Looking at the metadata for that product IU, I see it requires these
features:
<analysis:Requirement
name="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.user.ui.feature.group"
namespace="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu"
versionRange="[2.2.200.v20160606-1311,2.2.200.v20160606-1311]"
greedy="true"/>
<analysis:Requirement
name="org.eclipse.platform.feature.group"
namespace="org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu"
versionRange="[4.6.0.v20160606-1342,4.6.0.v20160606-1342]"
greedy="true"/>
So you could try to include those two features...

No, it's quite challenging. :-(
