What is the command to get the band statistics (min/max/etc.) for an image? I know I can do it for a region (using image.reduceRegion) but I want to have it for the whole image without defining a region.

In EarthEngine, images are potentially huge (think of the landsat ones, that are spatial-mosaics from landsat tiles), so that I think the only way to compute image statistics is with the image.reduceRegion() way.
You could eventually use image.geometry() to define the region, but:
* you might exceed the maxPixels count.
* the image could be unbounded as in the case of the landsat mosaics

Watch out for "unbounded" images (e.g. Landsat mosaics). These may throw an error if you use
image.geometry()as input toreduceRegion(): "Provide 'geometry' parameter when aggregating over an unbounded image." – Nicholas Clinton Jul 12 '18 at 17:22
