what is minimal recommended memory reservation for domain0? It won't

Thanks, but what do you think about 32MB?

I had serious problems with low-memory domain0. It caused problems with the backend of the block devices of other domains (those domains got I/O errors). I would not go below 64 MB, unless maybe by tweaking VM "will to swap" to be sure to have enough kernel memory available at anytime.
