Wouldnt removing modules affect performance because some modules might be loaded for performance or memory purposes. Can there be adverse effects as well of doing this. If lightweight is only need, why not use the lightweight distributions like Tinycore linux.

I personally haven't had significant performance regressions. I tend to disable only the modules that I am sure are not going to be necessary.

Also, Tinycore linux might be great but I would like to use Ubuntu for convenience and keep my existing additional scripts and provisioning profiles compatible.

I'll have a look at Tinycore Linux though, thanks for mentioning.
