There are certainly differences with different people, but problems are very unusual

3 / you need a "trusted team" :
I don't like the word "trust" here but it mean that you have a team with at least enough senior dev to pair with junior.
If the idea is to review each other or create reliable tests with each feature, can you really trust 2 junior pairing ?...

2 juniors works, but they need some external oversight, but that is true, pairing or not.

4 / organization nightmare ?
in order to put pair programing practice in your team, I am guessing you need to organize the pair daily, try to mix evenly the pple of your team depending on their expertise and seniority, etc... and for me this also looks quite heavy TBH

Best not to organise too rigidly. All combinations seem to work, they just have different characteristics. My preference for teams, once they have some experience of PP is to rotate pairs daily, so everyone gets to pair with everyone. That way learning for the whole team happens fastest.
