Seams this area is not very active so Need to start to get some More information out! Want to get a List of apps you removed and if you noticed any side effects. Backup any app before removing it, and should have a CWM backup before removing them. Remove them at your own Risk. Several of these I replaced with a different version like Facebook with Friendcaster.

Apps Haven't noticed any thing off once removed:
Google Play Movies
Uninstall_Linkedin
Tell HTC
TalkBack
Talk
Smith
Polars office
Pieasa web albums
Music
Media Share
Google+
Google Search
Gmail
Gallery
friend stream widget
friend stream (2 of them)
FB chat
Facebook for HTC
Facebook chat widget
facebook
Dock mode
connected media
boostzone

Apps have some side effects:
Task Manager (get a Nul App when try to click on the memory icon in the menu but it still shows memory used and stuff)

Stock this Rom seams to have way too much junk, anyone have any more apps or other things that are just worthless?
 
I made sure to remove Tell HTC, Smith, and qxdm2sd. Logger test app flagged them all as loggers and I didn't notice any difference after removing them. Also took off the usual bloat as you mentioned in the OP and didn't notice any issues either
 
It seems if we don't remove some of the gapps like Voice Search and a few others then we don't get the updates for them either which is strange as soon as removed I can then get the latest versions right from the Play Store
 
Just an update -- I also removed the HTC lockscreen with no apparent issues. Now I have a standard ICS lockscreen which I think looks much nicer than the HTC one.
 
had these disabled for 3 days so far no issues

htc hub / widget - didn't want these
htc report agent
htc sense (both. only after i installed another launcher because i wanted apex)
htc sense live wallpaper / slide show wallpaper ( if you dont want sense)

htc checkin service - DONT disable this, causes a lot of service issues especially with 4g, i figured out the hard way

How did you get to disable the HTC Hub (not the widget) and both of the HTC sense? It doesn't let me do that; are you rooted? I am not. I use the Nova launcher BTW.
