Did you find any of the encounters really challenging? My group of experienced RPGers (but new to PF2) struggled with a lot of the encounters. After the first section of part 2 I levelled their PCs to 3 (should have been 2) and they coped a little better being one level higher than intended.

Plaguestone was the first thing I ran for my very experienced group and there are a couple of encounters in there that can be extremely deadly
I ran the Pathfinder Society scenario The Absalom Initiation as an introductory scenario for 5 people who I only knew from a Twitch community. Most had little to no rpg experience (and none with FG or PF2) prior to playing and we just used some of the iconic Pathfinder characters. It's a bit more fiddly to set up with the variable missions / goals, but it breaks down into an intro and then 4 nice bite sized chunks after that.
Three of those folks ended up being the core of a new weekly game that's been going for almost a year now.

I found that is the case because of the fatal flaw players bring to the PF2 game.
If you work as a team, it's a lot easier. The encounters are challenging but doable.
Also the players have to get used to the dying condition, that it isn't unusual.“Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.”

I think for beginners it's probably good to have them level up to 2 really early in plaguestone and then keep them a level ahead of the curve.
For experienced players it's probably not necessary.

FoP was my first PF2e adventure as well, and I think it wasn't really deadly for my party since they already had the concept of "build the party" versus "build the PC", and were seeking party strategies from day one. I can see a random group of people struggling in some encounters here.

Based on what is available, I would start players with Troubles in Otari.
