I could function without a few keys like I seldom use f# or d flat.
My most used are probably in this order
A,d,c,f,g,b flat, b, e flat, e. Db and f# come up so rarely I have em for what if harps.
I play with horn players and a lot of minor tunes. Cm and C#m are very common keys for one group I play with. I'd wager. I play little first but lots of third.
If you rarely play with horns the sharps and flats are less common. So could wait. When I first started I only had a couple keys and it was limiting and frustrating. Never having the key I needed and not knowing enough to play in multiple positions.
A c chromatic can cover so much ground even with my meager skills for minor tunes it is essential for me.
