I’ll be honest I’d much more prefer a higher number required with guaranteed drop chances (like for example with SB).

This grind is just too random for me, in one zone I got one every 2-3 fates while in the other zone I’ve done 15 fates without a single one dropping.
Same with CE drops I got 7 of one type in a row while only 3 are needed. It would be nice if they were exchangeable.
