Other than those core modules you mentioned above, one of the most distinguishing characteristics of modules is that they define config directives that you then use. I would recommend that you walk through your configs and determine which module each and every directive comes from. To a reasonable degree of accuracy, that will give you the list of modules that are really in use. Naturally you'll find some exception(s), but this will get you very close without a lot of trial-and-error downtime.
