On a more serious note, Red 5 not being in the game is also a timing issue. Fleet arenas barely phased out of an over 9 month-long rebel meta and you can't just have such an iconic ship as a bench warmer.
Why not? Luke wasn't a Jedi yet in the first movie and R2 was his astromech.
Granted the existing X-wing pilots don't have their astromechs as crew, but for a ship that would almost certainly be released as a legendary it doesn't seem like that much of a stretch.

And they have enough empire ships for a legendary event!
Red 5 X-Wing will almost certainly make Rebels the fleet META again with AA’s Capital ship and Han’s M Falcon... so it’ll probably be a while before they drop that since they’re going to want at least 6-12 months of the Negotiator / Malevolence META.

Doesn't make any sense at all.
