What those add-ons do is add things that aren't required to play the mod. Some of the add-ons require other mods to work, such as the RoHT compatibility. If you're not using RoHT, then using the compatibility add-on would crash the game as well. The Sri's Alchemy add-on is a compatibility patch for Sri's Alchemy.
The alchemy table comes with the main mod. Sri's Alchemy is a mod that adds so many new ingredients to the game (and one of the most popular ones), that I decided to make an add-on that would let the alchemy sorter sort those as well. If you don't use Sri's Alchemy (and lots of people don't because it changes all the ingredients in the game), then you don't use that add-on. You still get your table either way.
Book Jackets is a mod that changes the textures of all the books in the game, so they all look better and have their titles readable on the spine. The Book Jackets add-on makes all the books in the library sorter look like those, but it requires the textures from Book Jackets (which is a huge package that I could not include), so you have to download Book Jackets to install it or not use that add-on at all. If you don't use Book Jackets, then the books just look like the standard ones, so it's not required to play UL itself. I recommend it though, because the Book Jackets mod is great. If you already use Book Jackets, then just load the add-on because the textures would already be installed. I just warn people because they try to load the add-on without it...all the time, and then ask me "why are the books all white in the library!?". :facepalm:
Edit: Here's the full list of add-ons and their requirements on the new website http://roadhunter.com/~stuporstar/Uvirith%27sLegacy_addons.html. Some of those aren't available yet, so just ignore those for now. If it says "Requires" in bold, it means don't use it without that requirement. Not all of them have requirements, but most do.
