I am 29 doing the Frances by myself starting in SJPdP next week. I didn’t realize this was a busiest time to do the Frances so I am really nervous about the bed race. I don’t mind socializing or crowds but being stranded sounds like a nightmare...
And those items should be in a money belt of some sort attached to your body at all times except for showering, at which time the belt should go into the shower with you in a waterproof bag.
From what pilgrims report as they come into Santiago, the Inglés is getting busier now, even in April, and by May it should have more walkers. So you won't be too isolated or alone.
I walked the Inglés solo in July 2017. It was quieter back...
No need to worry about numbers on the Inglés in my opinion. It’s quite busy and not at all the least popular route, so you will find people to walk with. There is even a bed race in one or two towns.
