I did laps in LM with my 2nd party 'til they were L10, too, but they were imports and started at L5 (party of 5). Metallic Slimes are great, they drop stuff like Ankh of Speed and Locket of Reflection, which you don't otherwise get anywhere that early in the game. I played in Ironmode a couple times (with 6 and 4, not imported), just to see if i could finish, so i guess that's like what you describe, not reloading if you die...those parties left the Monastery around L8 (but saving some of the levels until crossing the zone, to keep the initial spawns down a bit).
If i play with solo or duet, they usually hit the road at L10 or more; trios get out around L8. But i reload those if they die, which almost never happens anymore anyway.
