Yes.

ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION, RECORD_AUDIO and CAMERA are in fact useful.  I
am aware of one package which refers to location, microphone and camera
data, the Telegram client:

  https://github.com/zevlg/telega.el/

>     REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES
>     REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES

These are harmless from a security perspective, as they only entitle
Emacs to display an installation dialog from the package manager itself.
They're also useful for debugging and perhaps updating Emacs from within
itself, if we eventually get to that.
