LoM is really unwelcoming to newcomers. There are a lot of really esoteric systems, and it has a really staccato rhythm to its storytelling. So I understand why people can be put off by it. It might actually be a game best experienced with a walkthrough, for many.
That was basically my party, except I had Hawkeye instead of Kevin, and Reese was my main character. I personally don't think you have to have a particular setup to get through the game, but Charlotte is the only real healer, and sometimes people recommend having her. I think she might have been the source of a number of bugs in the original game, though. I wouldn't get too hung up on the class choices. You will lock yourself out of two classes in the third tier, after your first choice, but you can pretty much go with what feels right. It was a pretty chill game until it gets near the end, originally, and I would imagine they probably toned down the difficulty a bit for the remake, anyway.
