You can equip as many or as few bean troops as you feel you need. What to keep in mind:

Since bean troops do nothing against the normal tachi enemies, it is entirely possible that you will suffer damages and even losses to them if you run entirely with bean troops across the map.

Oni-troops can only be destroyed (easily) by bean troops. Bean troops preferentially target oni-troops & Oodachi-Oni but do not deal damage to anything else. Oodachi-Oni will preferentially target bean troops (usually only seen at the boss node since you may not have killed all of them with a volley).

Normal enemy nodes (as far as I have seen) can have 0, 1, or 2 Oodachi-Oni that are equipped with one oni-troop each. Just having a couple bean troops can handle this fine.

Boss Node is made up entirely of 6 Oodachi-Oni. If I remember correctly, triggering the easy route has them equipped with one oni-troop each, hard route with two oni-troop each. With only one bean troop on each sword, I cannot wipe out all of the oni-troops and Oodachi-Oni on either easy or hard. The few screenshots I have seen for a full wipe have been with 18 bean troops (it was a lucky run where the saniwa didn't lose any on the way to the boss).
