The way the threat has been established has been problematic, but that's the way Orchis has been depicted since HOXPOX. To have this team defeat Orchis after being gathered in this manner would mean that Marvel had simply abandoned the Orchis storyarc and had given up on ever truly resolving it.
If the setup to the mini established exactly why these specific characters are mutantkind's last hope by taking the most powerful mutants and the leaders off the board and setting up a ticking clock, then the story would work as the plucky underdogs and unlikely heroes saving the day where the more established heroes and leaders had failed.
