I miss Christine like I would miss an arm, but if nothing else, I'm happy she's happy. Listening to Homeward Bound, it's hard not to think about how much of her life she gave to touring, perhaps without enjoying it.
That said, if we remove the emotional component, I do think she's more key to the sound than Mick or John. If we're basing it on the music alone, I could whittle it down to the three writers.

Yes, I don't think
any of them are expendable. And Mick's drum is just part of what he brings to the band. His personality is also a great binding, cohesive influence, impacting all of the others. So, I do not want to lose anyone and the others would suffer if anyone goes. But, if push comes to shove, I'd take the 3 writers and get studio players to play bass and drum.
It wouldn't sound like the FM we know, but it would be a band I'd be most happy to listen to, if I had to cut 2.
I'd listen to what Chris, Lindsey and Stevie could cobble together alone, before I'd listen to
Time. And I'm not being facetious. I enjoyed some cuts on
Time, especially Christine's. But if I have to prioritize . . .
