This isnât an effect of the rest state, per se, but rather of the increased experience tiers needed to attain the higher levels.
As you say, it's not an effect of the rest state. The level curve has the same affect with or without it. Since the orks are always basically the same level as each other going into each session, and so far have never played enough to get to the second tier of the rest state, neither the level curve nor the rest state have really affected their ability to keep together.
If people want to be social and maintain a group for a long time, it would be a simple thing to only play that character as much as the slowest person plays (not counting things like crafting and trading, anyway). Whether that means literally only playing when everybody is present, or playing with the people you do have and then giving the other person time to catch up on their own, you don't need the rest state or the level curve to make it happen.
