Is it okay to 5 stack with varying account ranks?

Just wondering if it makes sense to 5 stack with a team with ELO's ranging from Bronze 2 to Plat 2. My group of friends likes to queue Valorant but the gap between ranks makes it complicated. Two of my friends got into an argument just yesterday because Person A (Bronze 2) did not want to queue with Person B's main account (Plat 2) because he thought the opposition would be too skilled for him due to the Plat 2's MMR and he would frag low.

2 questions I have about this that have been bugging me are:

  1. If a lower ranked player 5 stacks with a high ranked player on their team, will the enemies be significantly above the lower ranked player's level?
  2. Is it beneficial in any way for a low rank player to play in a 5 stack with one high rank player?

Thanks for any help!
