Yes, browsing a segmented network will fail without WINS. The browser
service uses Netbios names and broadcasts. The only practical way for a
browse master to find another browse master in a different segment is
through WINS.
I doubt that you will ever see a definitive list. Anything that requires
Netbios names needs WINS. That includes heaps of third party drivers and
apps (like printers and anti-virus software).

I've heard that My Network browsing will fail, and so will any
development that doesn't use the FQDN to specifiy servers, especially
if those servers are not in the same AD domain.
