It'd help if we could simply omit giving NPCs a secondary. For minions especially this would make it easier to come close to the type of minions you see in non-MA content.

Yeah, this would help quite a bit. In place of this, I usually just give low-level Minions Regeneration as a secondary. It gives them very little in the way of added survivability, aside from some minor resistances to Lethal, protection against Disorient, and some bonus HP regen.
