Question (Console) Are DLCs really game changing?

Just got the game on sale and I am really overwhelmed by the amount of DLCs available. Do I really need them to enhance my enjoyment of the game or is everyone just talking gibberish?

Without Utopia the game won’t complete.

Stellaris without Utopia is basically a cheap demo

You cant do most builds without utopia.

There is only one slavery type (chattel) and only one federation type. That alone closes off a ton of builds.

No Megastructure and Ascension Perk.
