Who are your companions? Do you switch during gameplay?

I’m currently in act 3 and remain using Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Astarion.

Anyone else uses other companions?

Edit: by the way, my main character is a Monk named Jef :)

Did managing so many summons in combat ever get tedious? My party size never exceeded like seven.

Yes. Absolutely. The worst is when you can't do anything with a summon except move it...or when you have to shuffle them around to allow your character to move.

When I wasn't prepping for a boss I usually had 4-5 summons total but I went all out for big fights. You're pretty unstoppable when you control the action economy like that. On the ketheric fight for example, I forced phase 2 before his turn started. Summons on the adds and my party on ketheric.

I don't think I'd do it again because the novelty wore off by the end but it's kinda fun!
