The first boss is optional.

 

Unless you want to take a huge, huge detour which will have you fighting against another optional boss, then yeah, I guess you can consider the first boss optional.

 


You can just get to father gascoigne once you've opened the last central yharnam shortcut (central lamp -> house) and get going towards the tomb of oedon just like you would have right after beating the cleric beast. Father Gascoigne is not optional as he gives the tomb of oedon's key to get to amelia, while the cleric beast only gives you the hammer.
