You could consult the most recent curl survey (at
https://daniel.haxx.se/media/curl-user-survey-2018-analysis.pdf) and
set a simple threshold at e.g. 90% of users and pick the features that
would be sufficient for such a fraction of users. You may need the raw
data, since the graph in the survey result document doesn't specify
whether a significant fraction of users use http/https plus another
protocol such as ftp, sftp etc.

Another interesting question would be which SSL backend you're going
to use and how you keep the CA store up to date.
