Not really. Doing the MSQ together is quite easy to do with 1 or 2 other people. You will all level at the same pace. You won’t be level-locked at any point to impede progress because this game barfs experience at players going through the MSQ. Seriously: I’ve been leveling an alt and I’ve avoided any and all exp buffs including rested experience, and it took all that for me to finally hit a level lock in the middle of the pre-Stone Vigil quest chain—and it was only by less than half a level. It’s quite doable. I’ve done it. I went through 2.0, 2.x, and 3.0 with a friend of mine (who made an alt just to level up with me so that I wasn’t doing all that alone), and we managed just fine. We played just about every day for a few hours until I was caught up (patch 3.1 at the time).

The only challenge one would have would be conflicting schedules. Exacerbated when you’re dealing with more than one individual, but it is quite doable. You’d only have to “disband the party” for solo instances, but everything else can be done in a party with very little issue outside of scheduling. Not nearly as impossible as you’re insinuating.
