There will be no mashed potatoes and no sweet potatoes/yams at my thanksgiving, but there will be roasted small potatoes and roasted butternut squash.
Also, there will be roasted Brussel sprouts with garlic - the garlic caramelizes and tastes like candy.
Cranberry bread made using a recipe from a Children's book about Thanksgiving is our family tradition and I must have it every year at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. This might be a New England thing.
I refuse to make gravy because gravy is for people who don't know how to properly roast a Turkey.

Gravy is normally used to cover up/compensate for dry turkey, but if the turkey is roasted properly, it will be juicy, making the gravy not necessary.
Also, I don't like gravy so I don't serve it when I cook Thanksgiving. The in-laws get a little pissy about it, but my side of the family takes it in stride.
I do serve home-made cranberry sauce.

i think a lot of must- and should-haves are not that great of dishes, e.g., pumpkin pie is just gross and there are so many better alternatives, so you gotta pick the best of the bunch and then supplement with seasonally appropriate dishes that actually taste good.
Here is my menu for this year:
Drink: Apple cider and rum punch
__
Appetizers
Fruit and cheese; goat cheese with caramelized onions & water crackers; chips & guac
__
Meat: Turkey and Ham
__
Sides and bread:
Pull-apart rolls and corn muffins with honey brown butter
Gravy
Cranberry and walnut relish
Stuffing
Kale and brussels sprout salad
Varenyky w/ground beef & potatoes and caramelized onions & potatoes
Scalloped potatoes
Roasted tomatoes with thyme and mozzarella
Roasted beets with grapefruit and rosemary
Roasted sweet potatoes with chickpeas, chile, yogurt and mint
__
Dessert:
Apple pie
Kentucky derby chocolate walnut pie
Carrot cake cupcakes with toasted marshmallow frosting
Confetti cookies
Ice cream (vanilla) (for pies)

i don't disagree with you, and i like your menu a lot.
but your menu pretty much has all my must-haves, sometimes with a few twists, which is totally cool.
i disagree on your hate for pumpkin pie though. i personally love pumpkin pie, especially with a huge dollop of whipped cream on top. and i do think it's a pretty important dish at the Thanksgiving table.

I was a little conflicted about omitting it because it's such a staple, but I honestly don't think it tastes good, and there are so many things I would rather prepare and eat instead that in the end, I left it off.
Was also little conflicted about leaving off mashed potatoes and roasted brussels sprouts, but I think the other dishes make up for it.
I don't like green bean casserole and creamed onions at all and don't think anyone should ever make them.

Pumpkin pie IS gross. You need to have one fresh dish to balance out all of the cooked stuff, and this particular kale salad is actually good - and I generally dislike kale.
I am using this recipe
https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/kale-and-brussels-sprout-salad
but with this dressing
½ cup peanut oil
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 Tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1-½ Tablespoons honey
Dash of cayenne pepper

the mashed/sweet potatoes distinction is controversial here.
truthfully, i could be convinced to just make the must-have list include "potatoes".
re the veggies, here's how i analyze it. i think anyone who hosts thanksgiving will probably include some sort of veggie dish, and as i note in my OP a veggie dish is one you SHOULD HAVE on the table.
but if you took 100 people and had them look at a Thanksgiving table, i'd bet way fewer would crow about the lack of a veggie dish than they would if, say, you excluded turkey/stuffing/cranberry/potatoes/pumpkin pie.
