We actually don't need anyone else for X5B (other than a Sparrowmon maybe but this wouldn't be the first time in ASR parts came from no where because we have enough components).

Remember that in ASR Dorulumon, for some reason, can DigiFuse (which he states he's doing, rather than Digivolve) into X4 with no one else around. He just casually can turn into X4 whenever he wants. So that's four components, which includes the missing components for Ballistamon and the Starmon Sword. Why Dorulumon can do this is anyone's question. Maybe he killed and absorbed his friends cuz he was bored one day (I'm joking) but still, Dorulumon -> X4 is treated as a natural form for our dog boy.

In treating it then for Impmon's story as Shoutmon+Shoutmon X4+OG Beelzemon (I wouldn't say it "converts into 2010 data), just that regular Beelzemon can be used instead. Plus, we now have multiple instances of Reapmon -> OG Beelzemon so they can be treated as one in the same. So I think that covers X5B for Impmon's story. Real Shoutmon+Real Dorulumon (with him as X4 when the virus forces the fusion) and then it throws in the Beelzemon clone it made (as the DX part shows that the "copy" means it clones you). Dorulumon's natural X4 shows we don't need to have a Sparrowmon, regular Shoutmon took her place as the 5th unit.

Dorulumon's story is then almost the same, except it puts a clone of X4 and a clone of Beelzemon into the real Shoutmon, to once agian be the five components. (Although it's six I guess, since the Beelzemon technically adds to X5B. I never did understand why X5B doesn't count as X6 lmao)

So Shoutmon DX is the only outliner. I think assuming Veemon - Greymon 2010 is too much headcanoning. Maybe ExVeemon as a blue Champion dragon? but still, I'd just maybe treat it as Shoutmon having the ability to naturally be DX. He can do it once the power is given to him and ASR already has Dorulumon able to "Digifuse" on his own. Shoutmon DOES states his data was digifused with... something. But we can't just assume what it is, so we'll just have to have it as Shoutmon clone + ????. X5B is sorted IMO though. Dorulumon ate his friends and can digivolve naturally.
