A lot of homebrew installs (those from code) require Apple's compile time stuff which only xcode has.

No, you can build pretty much everything from homebrew using just the command line developer tools. It's been like that for 7-8 years, if not more. Off the top of my head I've only once ever run into a homebrew recipe requiring "xcodebuild" to proceed.

You can only install the command line tools now. You don't need a full blown Xcode install.
