Soloing works until you beat the base game (NPC groups can be used on all base dungeons and even the base game final boss). Then you will be forced to group up online for a "boss" fight post base game, pre-first expansion. Most, if not all dungeons through 90 that can be "soloed" using NPC groups. But sporadically the game will force you to group up to beat bosses. It will generally be 2-4 online bosses per expansion. The game also forces you to do three 24 man... or was it reduced to 12 man? Been awhile, don't remember... online level 50 raids (not one right after the other though) between the first 2 expansions. What happens is you cannot continue on with the main story quests until you beat said level 50 raids.

This.

Most main story content can be done solo by now, with the exceptions of trials (boss fight only), the old main scenario end of 2.0 (lvl 50 mainquest), and the crystal tower raids (lvl 50 alliance raid, with 3x8 = 24 people).

The crystal tower raid is a bit special, because originally it wasn't part of the main story, but true endgame content, but Shadowbringers extremly built up on that raid story wise, so they made it mandatory (and beyond easy).

Don't be afraid of doing them blindly.

There may be a handful of bosses total in there that could be messy if half of the party has no idea what they are doing, but usually no one should even care if you mess up.

You will be carried, and the others usually only notice it if you end up dead on the ground, without minding it anyways.
