Sure, they're all fallable, and together they still are. But the more, the merrier... And I think close involvement with SHIELD would remove some of the "taking things into their own hands approach". And as to different views within a group, they can be represented as well. For example, currently with the X-Men Regenesis, there should be at least two mutant representatives. Maybe another one for the mutants who work outside of the X-Men... But ultimately, the way the team works out is up to the writers and where they want to go with this. And the Avengers are proof that heroes who can barely agree on the colour of the sky can work together, so I think it could still work...
