imo you can totally get into raids and fractals with 2-3 people.
For fractals, you're just 2 shy of a full party. Throw a post up on LFG and it'll be filled in 5 minutes easy.
For raids, have your friends learn healers or supports and you'll quickly fill the remaining spots with "hi dps"-ers. Or honestly just having a 3/10 LFG post up will get some gamers filled in regardless of what you play. In my experience it's the 1/10 groups that are the slowest to get started. Just make sure you post for the right roles ("w1 full clear lf adps,qdps" for example) so people know what the group needs.
More importantly, if traditional anticheat has a bug, your game dies. Oh no.
If kernel level anticheat has a bug, your computer blue screens (that's specifically what the blue screen is: a bug in the kernel, not just an ordinary bug that the system can recover from). Much worse. Sure hope that bug only crashes your computer when the game is running and not just whenever, because remember a kernel-level program can be running the moment your computer boots as above poster said
