It's curious, but I've never had much trouble with Min's Palace. Maybe it's because I always play a really completist game, so by the time I get to the central mission climax I'm as well equipped as I can be.
I've always worked my way up the hill in a vehicle with a mounted gun for as long as possible, then gone off-road.
Don't forget to loot Min's body for a nice little Easter egg.

Oh I've got all the biggest and baddest on tap, but I like a bit of a challenge, so I swapped out the buzzsaw for an assault rifle before I knew what I was getting into, and brought the suppressed z93 (not especially useful), ripper SMG (very useful, but I reckon the spas will be more so), and the completely useless crossbow, will swap that for the one-hander GL.

Did you try shelling it with the GL from the buzzer first, or just charge in through the front gate?

I tried with the GL from the buzzer, but there seems to be a cap on how high you can fly in that area, presumably to stop you from flying over the top in a buzzer and shelling the place with the grenade launcher. I then tried hovering around just below the outer wall height and took a few guys out that way, but it was fairly banal.
In the end I stormed through the front gate, with the buzzsaw.

Did you both find that the ally AI was lacking somewhat? There were numerous times I drove away from a karma event or a liberated base and the golden path would literally walk into my vehicle's path instead of hoofing it away.

They're always getting mowed down by random drivers. They're also adept at stepping in front of my firing gun.

Yeah it seems the waves of attackers are triggered by walking into different areas of the palace.
Strange thing happened to me: I tried to throw a grenade, my indicator showed zero grenades (after I just did an ammo refill), then I used the mousewheel and it said 15 (full loadout), but when I threw grenades sometimes they just lay on the ground and didn't explode, and sometimes they did explode.

Yeah, they're not the best and the brightest, which is annoying when you lose karma after one of them walks under your vehicle or into your line of fire.

They're friendly and hand out cash. What's not to like?
The ones in FC3, if you accidentally shoot one, they turn their guns on you.

Finished it. The palace/fort/whatever battle was fairly epic, though not too hard with the GL/spas/buzzsaw combo (brought the elephant gun but never used it). I'm a bit disappointed at how passively Sabal and Min accepted their fate, didn't even have bodyguards, personal defense weapons, or attempt to escape.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
