Thanks for your opinions in advance

Unless one person is underage AC has no requirement to put you anywhere near each other. If there is a block of seats together they’ll likely put you in then at OLCI. Likelihood depends on things like route and loads.
I assume you are flying Tango. I always pay for a preferred seat... but that can be pricey. I think generic advance seat is like $15 a head and you can get better seats that way.
If it’s worth $45 or whatever is up to you. The seat map may give some information as to what seats are currently free... Checking in bang on t-24h is your next best option (and free) but there could be 200 other people doing that and ACs OLCI system isn’t functional 100% of the time.
