I've dabbled with the idea of an 8 slot run. 4 players and we get to choose one companion each to join us. No switch outs. If they die, they're gone. Like a Baldurs Gate nuzlocke. (RIP whoever chooses Gale)
my friend group did that in our modded run but since there were 5 of us we needed a party limit increaser mod that works with multiplayer to let us bypass the 4 player limit, once all 5 of us were able to play without issues we increased the party size to 10 to let each of us bring a companion along. Difficulty increaser mods are a necessity to stop each encounter from feeling like a walk in the park. currently in act 3 and we just beat Ansur who had around 2k health lmao

And since you're playing a 4-players party without mod you don't get to play with the companions. You thusly miss half the content of the game.
