You can have as few as 3 OL. It's been brought up before how an american football simulation game doesn't even require 7 players on the line of scrimmage or that only the 2 outside players on the line are eligible receivers. You can play 3 OL, 2 TE, and 4 WR and all 6 TE/WR can catch passes.
The only OL position you are required to fill is C, plus any two of the other 4 choices.

Will you give up tons of sacks or tackles for loss without 5 OL?

I'd play 5 OL and 2 HB/FB's. The least amount of recievers that you use, the better.

Adding a a fourth (and weaker) receiver just means that the QB will put the ball in the hands of a weak receiver 25% of the time.

Actually I put my best wr on the right side. And the TE and the other WR play on the left side. I attack down the right flank and so far its worked quite well. When my other players get more expensive and develop I'd use this strategy, because it works better both on the field and financially
