Remember everyone, we're just starting out, getting our feet under us as we found our colony. We should get adventurers who are best at helping us set up, not those better for expeditions into the depths of the jungle. Characters like Pandora the Pioneer should be left alone for now. We can hire them another time.

I think not having at least one Diplomacy adventurer is a bad idea. We don't necessarily need more than one, but we do need at least one. Ditto Intrigue. And Pandora is as good a choice as any of the available Diplomacy specialists.

While looking at the adventurers I'd want to include in my own plan, I realised that eight in ten of them were the exact same as the ones in your list, with the same ratio. There are two changes I'd like to propose.
First, replacing Thyriol with Hiceh Nethereyes, the Sorceress. Hiceh's specialties are very valuable right now, having a bit of magical healing and, more importantly, skill with poison she can use to identify dangers and make antidotes. When we're just starting out is when we'll be most vulnerable to the poisonous/venemous plants and animals of Lustria, and it'll be a problem forever.
Second, replacing Wilryn with Amina bint Malik, the Caravan Guard. Wilryn isn't a bad choice as a Martial character right now, but Amina's skillset is more suited to protecting other adventurers, which is better at the moment. (Amina and Caelir both work, but I don't want to put Caelir on the same team as Hiceh.)
It's swapping out Learning for Learning and Martial for Martial, so won't mess up the ratio you want.

I think that having a rogue Druchii is a bit less than ideal. I could be convinced to switch out for the caravan guard, though.

Normally having Druchii around isn't a best idea, but Hiceh's a firm exception. She doesn't have a long history of vile atrocities to her name, she's a young student who dipped out of Druchii society after learning only a few spells. She's not in any sort of position to be doing the kinds of things that make enemies, and her interests are, in our circumstances, pretty benign. If she were an experienced corsair or something that'd be a problem, but she's basically a kid looking for a stable job that keeps her out of trouble.
I'd wager Thyriol would end up being the more problematic of the two.

When we reach Lustria, we'll be suffering a number of problems that we need to prepare against, some we need to fight, some we need to understand. This plan seeks to get adventurers to meet and overcome every one of the challenges we'll face.
Bullo, Johann, Klaus, Anwen, Amina, and Branwen are all fighters, all of them able to take care of wild animals that can hurt us. Klaus and Johann are also suitable for dealing with more subtle creatures that can slip through the cracks. Amina is preferable over Wilryn because, at the moment, we need someone to protect our other adventurers more than someone who can participate in archaeology and anthropology.
Arda is our wizard, giving us a spot of magical oomph. She's an amber wizard specifically, meaning that she's good at handling beasts both friendly and not. We have a large contingent of goats and one of our adventurers rides a ram, so there's good synergy, and her knowledge of beasts will let her deal with dangerous animals easier.
Briala is incredibly helpful. Disease, poison, and injury will take a toll on our colonists and adventurers, and she's a renowned healer. Taking her on is a very good move.
Elena, Pandora, and Anwen are people we want to help us deal with the nearby environment. Anwen is a scout and Pandora has experience in Lustria, which makes them suitable to that job, and Elena does the important job of mapping out what's where near our colony. Pandora also has a Diplomacy focus, which is a force multiplier by ensuring everything runs smoothly.

Just a heads up to people voting for Optimal Landing, I'm replacing Hiceh with Briala Silverleaf, the Eonir healer. It's less magic and less poison focus, but she covers more bases than Hiceh and has a better personality. EDIT: Done.
I recommend replacing Borin with Briala Silverleaf. She's a Learning hero just like him, but her medicinal skills will be much more important in the early stage than Borin's engineering skills.
Borin shouldn't be part of this, we're just not at a stage where an engineer would be useful to us. Marco wants lucrative contracts and legendary battles, neither of which we can give to him right now. Thyriol offers nothing that our Wizard Advisor doesn't already and comes with personality issues, making him the worst of all our wizard choices at this stage. We're better off with Pandora than Selene at the moment because our colony's got a lot of languages and Pandora can speak multiple languages.

For the record, I'm also pretty much in on Optimal Landings. Seems solid to me, and I edited in a vote for it to my original post.

I am grateful for the convention where you can use the Funny reaction to express horror.
This would be a very different kind of good start.
