This is just my opinion; others may have different ideas. I'm considering that the project is licensed under the terms of the Apache License, v2.0 and I'm assuming that the contributors knew that when they made their contributions.
I'd continue to try to obtain ICLAs from the other contributors (not just the 5 with >1 commit but all of them). I'd guess that you won't get every single contributor to file an ICLA but it's probably ok to continue to a vote. The only risk that I see is one of the contributors later has a change of mind, decides that they didn't understand that this is an open source project intended to be licensed under the terms of the ALv2.0 and then complains. At that point, the project might decide that they need to rewrite the contributor's code in order to remove the nuisance. So I'd say to go ahead and expect that the contributors who fail to submit an ICLA are just not interested and will fade into history without any trouble.
