I tried out group instances to see how they would work and I don't think they're a good fit for friend by friend at all.
First of all, you can't see which people are in which instance, making it hard to move to a more desirable instance (which people do a lot during the event).
Second, there is no instance owner, the "owner" is just the group. This means that only pre-selected "moderators" can moderate instances. The person who created the instance can't even do it.
So if these moderators are absent, then there is no way to kick problematic people, randos or the underaged who may find their way in.
This also creates drama because then you would have to "select" moderators yourself. I recall you saying you didn't want to do this.
And finally, instances seem to stick around in the list for about 30 minutes right now even if they're empty. This means a malicious user or a troll can just spam-create new instances, clog up the list and push the "real" instance way down.
The group instance list says it's sorted by "Total members", but it seems to be sorted by date created instead. Pic related, the total member count seems to be broken and always shows up as 0 people.

tl;dr: don't do this.
