    That's hard for me to say. 5e is definitely more flexible than 4e in terms of party composition. Also, the Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything release massaged a lot of the rules around races and classes, allowing you to trade generic stat increases for specific niche skills and abilities you wouldn't normally have.

    Just running a Bard fills quite a few niches sub-optimally. Alternatively, Artificers allow you to pull solutions out of your ass as necessary.
