I am not clear whether the acs package is designed to fetch all acs data
which the Census exposes via the API, or just a subset of it. And if a
subset, which subset?

For example, this page from the Census Bureau:

https://api.census.gov/data/2016/acs/acs1.html

lists 4 types of tables which are available via the API: Detailed,
Comparison Profile, Data Profile and Subject Profile. I tried to pull a few
Data Profile tables via the acs package but kept on getting error messages.

Are only the Detailed tables available via the acs package?
