An MVP should answer one question: will people use this? Everything that doesn't help answer that question can wait.
That said, a few foundations are worth getting right early — authentication, a sensible data model and a clean deployment process — because they are expensive to change later.
Choose mainstream, well-supported technologies so you can hire and scale without rewriting everything.
