I have not cleared yet, but I have been pugging through PF and clearing bosses. This is absolutely doable with random players. The "discord only" and "premade only" and "static only" mentality is a detriment in its own way. It feels more like stubbornly fighting against the way the content was designed, rather than leaning into it.

Also, bonus points for groups going in with less than 48 people. It's easier to get 5 parties in the same instance than 6, DPS checks are lenient enough that 40 people is plenty, and it allows for random players in an instance to join without taking away from someone who came in with a group in advance.
