Really, there's virtually no characters you're stuck with except Mordin, Miranda, Jacob, and maybe one or two of the first-tier pre-Horizon recruit characters, I don't know if there's a requirement there.

But after that you gain access to the Collector Ship based entirely on # missions completed -- and missions where you don't recruit anyone new or increase anyone's loyalty count towards that goal. Scan planets and do those dopey 125 experience missions. And then you pretty much have close-to-immediate access to the Reaper IFF mission.

And keep Legion and Grunt in their respective comatose situations, don't release them and let them become party members.

I mean sure if you recruit everyone, then it's really hard to fail, but that's intentionally the case -- recruiting is supposed to increase your chances of survival.
