That will be difficult - although not impossible - as Calamares is a GUI installer and the final system is extracted from running system.
Isnāt a customized ISO profile easy and the way to go?
You are right - but calamares is gui app and OP want as CLI environment as the result.
You need a windowmanager to run calamares which in turn requires X and drivers and ā¦
You can create a customized Calamares - a netinstaller - which can install a given set of packages.
Much like EndeavourOS has done.
Or you could move the Xorg part to the Live-Packages section - which would provide a GUI only in the live session - the install phase could then be boiled down to what ever packagtes and services desired.

I correct myself.
I couldnāt resist the urge to try this 
I actually did it - created a gui installer for cli only system - and it was easier than anticipated - I took only 10 minutes to modify the iso-profile and another 10 to build it - piece of 
IMO.
For those who like adventures (very rough slapped together with no regards to the visual) if you download and test - remember it is very simple - more like Proof Of Concept than for actual use

Hi linux-aarhus, great job 
your work will not go in vain - Iāll surly try this iso
but ā¦ first of all.
Iāve build architect iso just like you advised and then installed to test on vm.
All worked fine for me - thank you, thank all others too.
I think this thread can be closed.
Summary:
Yes, one can build custom minimal iso with architect profile and advises like in earlier mentioned YT video.
āFor those who like adventuresā as bonus your findings with calamares
