I am not too terribly great at with linux, so trying to figure out how to even disable all the services I don't need, let alone knowing which ones can / should be disabled is rather difficult, and I see lots of people asking how to do it quite often, which is why I suggested that it might be a good idea, primarily for automotive use and such.The thing is that these sorts of systems need to be setup first.
Java for example does not come with many linux distros by default so that would be something you would want to install. But someone doing what you are doing but with a python application wouldn't want java to cut down on bloat.
Having a bare minimum distro like arch is far better than having a single really bloated .iso that does everything.
The bottom line is that if you are going to do something custom with your Pine you should learn how to Linux. Usually the first problem is figuring out what you want to do, but you seem to know what you want to do, learn how to do it.
Or even better, make what you want to make yourself.
I already figured it out and have it working actually as of last night on my Pi 3. So all is well. Now I just have to strip down any other services I find on it to get the boot time down a bit, and I am good.
