It depends on whether you're talking about minimalist art, or minimalist lifestyle. (Now I'm thinking about an actual minimalist art deck.... or maybe Abstract Expressionist....)
Minimalism means not having little, but having only what is necessary. So for me, some decks that are on the minimalist side don't really succeed because, like the over-zealous follower of internet organization gurus, they've thrown out things they actually need in favor of a minimalist aesthetic.
I like abstract art, but there's a fine line between abstracted and poorly drawn. A good artist can control their abstraction: they know the important points of the figure, they know proportion and anatomy, and their abstraction makes sense; much of what passes for abstraction now is really amateur or 'naive' art. And there's certainly a place for that, and I think that everyone should expressing their creativity, what ever their ability. But in a tarot deck it's not usually my personal cup of tea.
