Is Mew required to complete the Pokedex?

This question is based on three assumptions (which I assume to be true - please correct me if I'm wrong):

You can only obtain Mew by purchasing a Pokeball Plus, which contains exactly one Mew
You can't breed Pokemon in the Let's Go games
You can't transfer any Pokemon that didn't already come from another Let's Go game to a Let's Go game through Pokemon Home

Considering all of that, it seems to me that the number of Mews in Let's Go world-wide is finite. So if you only pick up the game now and are missing the Pokeball Plus, are you unable to complete the Pokedex unless you happen to meet someone by chance who is willing to trade you their Mew?

Why is Mew not in the PokÃ©dex?

Mew was considered extinct when the Pokedex was made. But as Mewtwo was alive and known, he was placed first. Later, Mew's resurrection of his species in Emerald by a scientist meant they could now get his info for the Pokedex.

Mew's number in the National Pok\xe9dex is 151, the last of the first-generation Pok\xe9mon, with 150 being Mewtwo and 152 being Chikorita.
