"TRACK ABUSE"
I remember a time when you only had so many tracks to record to, and that was it. Everyone used what they had with much success. But when DAW's hit the market and grew, everyone went track crazy.
But hey...you're that mix engineer. Do what you do and justify what you do. If you need to chop it down to single leads, do so. Run the mix by your client and see if they like it.
and dude, 5 MCees on one song? much be short verses running back to back, short hooks, or simply a very long song.
