I don't think I like the idea of group archetypes.  It doesn't strike me as 
primal enough.  This goes back to my objections concerning the earlier 
dicussion of The Lovers as opposed to CC's idea of The True Lover.  The True 
Lover is inclusive in that two True Lovers could have each other as the 
object of their affection/ desire.  While The Lovers gets into that group 
dynamic which reaches up through the primal and into something else 
entirely.  Once again CC has addressed this in what is, I think, a workable 
way in which a cabal of archetypes work together (albeit in what can only be 
a temporary way) to achieve some common goal.  I don't envision such 
alliances as having any kind of longevity (the world views would inevitably 
conflict) but could work on this temporary basis.  Just my two cents.
