This idea is kinda a free-bee. Make your crowds with your old runtime of V3 and M3 
In addition for a little extra depth in the rear, I added in my old AZL flat crowd with the black silhouette chosen.
 HDRI lighting used in a couple for additional spooky depth effect. They are watching a girl fight that has gone to the floor and from their expressions has got real nasty LOL 
The max render time for both AZL extra depth and hdri lights was 4 to 5 seconds 1280x720 . The 8 with no lights or AZL was around 1 or 2 seconds. So hang onto your old V3 and M3 runtime. Even now it would be smarter to buy the current stock while still available of V3 and M3. Forum Image

Good advice.  Lots of great variety with the older generations,  both as background actors and mid ground support actors.

There's also other solutions like the Biala Crowd figure: https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/149065/crowd-figure-g8f-and-g8m-compatible

Now I'm curious about the advantages and problems the various crowd solutions.

Ya but the faces of V3 and M3 are far superior, plus you can add expressions etc. No sorry, but that looks like a big waste of $$$ Those low poly you liked/linked to look pretty bad, and all the same face. .

Have to agree, the crowd products all look low quality and the same general features,  the only way they can be used is with DOF to blur them into the background.

Whereas there are very nice V3+M3 and M4+V4 characters available plus nice well modelled clothing,  you can pose them,  add expressions, and dress them to help fill the background and the street scenes.
