I would argue that Prompto's backstory comes out absolutely nowhere in the main game without Episode Prompto to flesh it out.The DLC episodes don't add anything to the holes in the story anyway.
And I'm not sure if it's folded into the game, but Chapter 13 verse 2 also provides quite a bit of context to the fate of two characters.
Episode Gladiolus is completely superfluous to the point of raising more questions than answers, but a playthrough without shirtless Gladiolus comes at great expense of the player's enjoyment.
