I'm not an expert on the foundations of Lean, but I do know that funext in the source code follows only from the axioms of quotient types and the eliminator for equality. There are a number of axioms that are implicit in the type checker itself, so you might say that proof irrelevance is built-in in that way. Propositional extensionality (propext) is that propositions that imply each other are equal, and that's an axiom in the library, but funext does not depend on propext.

Correcting my non-expert inaccuracies in this thread: I just learned that Diaconescu's theorem depends on the axiom of choice, which I'd missed even though I'd glanced at the code for classical.em a few times. So, LEM definitely depends on the axiom of choice in Lean.
