I'd still say two is the norm currently either to the end of the expac or the beginning of 6.0 due to the IL/Lvl gap.
Phase 2 can be reached with insane burst (like 5s), the job I did it on was WAR (Inner Release -> INF(Inner Chaos) -> Upheaval + Onslaught -> INF(Inner Chaos) -> Fell Cleave.

The issue is filling the down gauge in phase 2 to actually deal damage afterwards. It fills with amount of attacks done afaik (or damage, no idea) and alone it takes way too long and you eat through 3x Mega Potion due to having to deal with the stack. Assuming you do down it once or twice in a fight, your burst overall isn't good enough to kill it on your own and due to some bug I didn't know existed (I die solo -> could stand up again though) I was able to see that Rathalos EX also comes with an actual Enrage (phase transition fire attack but without corpse on ground).

As you said, 2 players is the bare minimum you can do Rath Ex with (done already) unless our bursts become so strong that in two Down windows we can kill it.
