Yes, you want at least 8 troops. You can bring up to 10, but the infiltration time goes WAY up when you add that 9th and 10th soldier.
It took me a few tries to get used to HQ assaults. Bring a sniper or two and set up on a good building. It's not uncommon to engage the first pod and eventually fight most enemies on the map while you're set up in that initial location.
Lol I went into the middle and about 5 pods was there, next to the general. Wow it was quite a fight XD
Also recommend slow scouting. Find a few pods and track them as they head to your killbox.
Going with the full 10 man squad early in the game can be close to a month of infiltration without using any intel. Even with intel, it can be 18-20 days which is in most cases is way too long to dedicate those resources on one mission. 6-7 soldier squad will be less than half that time to infiltrate, so not only is it quicker to turn those soldiers on their next mission, the 3-4 that you don't use can be used on a different mission. If that isn't enough, your soldiers will also get more XP and level up faster with smaller squad sizes. It really comes down to how you can get complete the mission with the least amount of soldiers and resources allocated.
Xwynns has once completed this mission with a 3 man squad (shinobi + 2 sharpshooters). The mission was extremely long, but successful. I would not recommend doing so for many reasons, but it's interesting as 'proof of concept'.

That's soo cheesy yet amazing. Yea next time I should have done that. I went in brute force, nading the crap out of them (they keep grouping up)
ooo I was wondering why I can't see fatigue. I got the dlc but playing LW2 for now.
