Yes, you can set up a basic Minecraft server on a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.
Heavy load with five participants on a Pi 2 isn't realistic—my friend used Spigot on a Pi 4, which is significantly more efficient, and it handled four players smoothly.
I agree with @pythonmegapixel about the Pi managing all the device data. Essentially, you'd overload it. Likely a more modern PC would work better instead.
It's about testing performance on a low-end machine. You could set up a Pi, adjust render distance, and tweak settings. Trying it yourself would have been better. Just check if it works and see how you can improve it. Don't stick with the default settings—use something optimized like Paper. Update server.properties for better practicality.
