"Estus Flasks", "Bonfires" and reappearing enemies when you rest are the three I can think of plus like the other guy said a heavy emphasis on parrying.

What would you add on top of this as the required criteria needed to meet the definition of a soulslike?

I do appreciate like the term roguelike it's more a feeling than an exact science and massively subjective so maybe a fairer question is more what makes Stellar Blade NOT a soulslike?

Hmm. I will admit that maybe it is going in that direction. It does seem that a penalty for dying should be there though. But admittedly, even Lies of P is kinder in that regard. There is a penalty, but not as bad.
