I run the mythtv backend on its own, no mythbuntu or any other DE. i run it on my htpc which is headless, at least as far as keyboard and mouse goes. the server direct boots to kodi and i watch tv through that.
It's an htpc without a keyboard or mouse, so no need for a mouse based distro. it is used for nothing other than media, tv, and behind the scenes it does a bunch of stuff like minecraft servers, dhcp, dns among other things.
For all purposes consider this a server choice question, not a desktop distro question.
