No. The C/POSIX locales also disable Unicode support, which can break some applications. That's why Fedora had a patch to force Python to coerce C to C.UTF-8 before it was finally upstreamed in Python 3.8.
This is not relevant to the question whether glibc-locale-base should be used instead of glibc-locale. I'm not changing any locale choices at this time.
Well, it is. In Fedora, we were able to move to glibc-minimal-langpack in our buildroot because we did work to coerce the default locale in some stacks to C.UTF-8, which eliminated the need for "regular" locales for most package builds. It started with Python and work extended from there. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/python3_c.utf-8_locale -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!
