Nope, if no one dies, team doesn't eat too much unnecessary dmg and your WHM doesn't suck in MP management, and your DPS is good enough to push Phase 2 (depends on how you do it - some team let the boss hover around 53% and kill the 3rd add and immediately phase the boss, some team just #yolo and whack as hard as they can, the 3rd add spawns during DB and they kill there after), technically you don't need any Paeon as long as you have a NIN, and you don't need ballad.
