For Friday Night 5: this section keeps the answer short before you dig into the details.
Works for 5: Modded. Setup difficulty: 3/5. Progression risk: Low.
Multiplayer notes
The base game is 4-player only, but Thunderstore modpacks explicitly support larger lobbies and multiplayer tooling.
Hosting notes
Normal play is host-based; modded 5+ support is about extending the lobby, not turning it into a server-first game.
Progression notes
Run-based progression is easier on mixed attendance, but mod stacks can introduce install friction.

RoR2 Billee Editionworks
Large modpack profile that advertises up to 10 players; good example of modded support rather than native support.

Why the page separates them
Storefront data says what the store claims. The internal review layer is what the app trusts when deciding whether the game works for a 5-8 player group.
