We play OSE, and I have the players roll up several characters at session 0, or at least have the rolls done, and such. Character creation in OSE is super simple though, especially at low levels, it’s pretty plug and play, so it’s an easier ask overall.
I found 5e to be long and tedious for character creation, not to mention all the added things you can “do” based on class, background, race, feat (if using), skills, etc. No wonder people don’t want to do it again.
I find that just creating multiple characters at the beginning builds in the expectation that characters will die, and it’s a good thing they have a “bench“ of new characters to step in.
