This is four buddies grouping together. There's no one to tell! There's no "many people"!
It will level faster with a cleric because during the leveling process a cleric is better for enc/enc/necro than a shaman. Better heals means less downtime. Extra stuns means faster recovery on charm breaks. Better HP buffs means fewer deaths. From 29-50s you'll have rez available, while if you level with a shaman you won't have rez available until whenever in the late 50s you level up the pocket cleric.

In an MMO, your static group will meet other people, unless your group is purposely ignoring everyone. You'll make friends outside of the group along the way.
This is where we differ. You admitted you are mostly focused on the leveling aspect of this group. You also don't have any 60s. I've been through the leveling process multiple times. You don't need to min/max the leveling process. A group of four casters is leveling quickly already. Shamans, Enchanters, and Necrancers can solo to 60 without a Cleric.
If the group gets impatient and quits before level 60, they probably would have done that anyway. The group composition matters the most at 60, when doing endgame content, which is why I put more weight on the endgame.
Your preference doesn't change the outcome of having two 60 Enchanters mains, a 60 Shaman main, a 60 Necromancer main, a 49 Cleric shared account, a 55 mage shared account, and a 46 Wizard shared account.
