It looks like the most noticeable difference between text-mode and
fundamental-mode is that by default text-mode puts a newline at the
end of the file when you save if there isn't one already. It's the
simplest mode other than fundamental, after all.
And I would argue that after-change-major-mode-hook *is*
fundamental-mode's equivalent of text-mode-hook, since all major modes
are supposedly derived from fundamental-mode and those are the hooks
that get run when you switch into any mode.
