All my wheels would take the red DT or black Park (I keep one on my key chain).

My newest hubs don't need any.
3. 8, 9, 10 'Y' wrench
I have pedals and crank bolts which take an 8mm hex key, but couldn't get enough leverage off a Y-wrench. Only a 3/8" drive 8mm hex key socket works on the cranks which IIRC took about 40 foot-pounds to seat correctly.
Thats about it. Everything else 'buy as you go'.
Pretty much everything bike-specific is buy as you go.
