WinPE? Server Core?

WinPE is not designed for that. See limitations. Basically it forgets anything on restart and its even worst then that.

Core has other problems and it doesn't use PowerShell by default, it can't run x32 apps too.

So no, there is nothing available right now.

Is LTSC still offered? That was a pretty minimal (though still GUI) install last time I tried it. Also I think it only gets security updates, and only when you initiate the update process.
