In fact, does linux-libre differ in any way but the inability to load
non-free firmware? Which offers no benefits over simply not installing such
firmware.

Likewise, you don't need a complete distro; Debian/Devuan come with free
software only, by default -- to get non-free parts you need to opt-in by
adding non-free to your apt sources.
