Erm WTF your going to have problems using things like GTM and GA for a start.

Just blatantly breaking standards like this is not a good idea seen some real howlers from sprint back when I worked on x.400.

Not using either of those things sounds like a benefit.

Yeh want to justify your ROI you will :-)

And using GTM instead of hand coding every thing is a win

W3C HTML5 validator will issue a single warning for not having an openning html tag with the lang attribute. Other than that there are no errors. It is not breaking any standards. As sibling commented I would just add the html tag with the lang attribute.

I don't use GTM or GA or almost any JavaScript whatsoever.

No standards are broken here. Maybe you can bother to read them:

There will also be no issue including GTM/GA or other scripts.
