In my professional and obviously incredibly valued opinion everyone asked for:

I think it makes the most sense to have the full party be the base because a full party is clearly the intended default playstyle of the game. They have you use a full party in the prologue, force the main pawn on you early on, and direct you to the riftstone to recruit two more people. They regularly talk about having the right party composition, so on and so forth. It makes more sense from a framing perspective to have the default playstyle be base XP while you gain more XP by challenging yourself as opposed to framing it as you're losing XP for playing the game the way it was designed to be played.
