If you don't get to walk around on your base or anywhere else, character customization is not essential, but just a small customizable character portrait could still be nice if only so you get a sense of what your character actually looks like. Also, there may be cutscenes featuring your human self. So while having Saints Row-level customisation may not be essential, it would still be nice to have some.

Also, the option to pick your gender is essential for the roleplaying. Especially if the choices involve princesses and princes.
