My rule of thumb was 25pt buy with no dump stats (nothing below 10). It seemed to work out well.
Yes, this or 20 pt with no dump works well. Allows for a nice build with no min/maxing.
But with that party, they will need all the help they can get. Almost no healing and no arcanist? Wow.

Yeah, that's not bad. I made a 20 point buy dwarf that is working fine, and it's got this spread (just highest to lowest, not in actual order):
16, 16, 15, 12, 10, 8. However, I'm not sure if the rule means I'd have to up the naturally occuring charisma dump for being a dwarf. On an Elf, I usually do that anyway, but it seems rough for a dwarf. The Elf can crank up their dex and be a decent martial class, or its int and be a really good wizard. But with the dwarf almost no matter what you make, you can take the hit to cha, and still just be well rounded (as opposed to optimized).

Usually racial modifiers are not included so you'd be fine.
