I would say {lo ro cipni cu dunsi'u lo ka sanga}, here. I don't think {ro loi cipni cu simxu...} is correct here, because this {ro} makes it distributive, whereas {simxu} expects a plurality of individuals.

What is the difference between dunsi'u and mitsi'u? You are right, they should be treated as individuals. It fits better with the context as well.

In my understanding:
{dunsi'u} = "x1 (plural) are mutually equal in what they are in relation x2 with".
For example, {mi'o dunsi'u lo ka (ce'u) nelci (ce'u/makau)} = "We (you+me) like the same things", "We are equal in what we like".

As for {mitsi'u}, it sounds like "everything among x1 is the same thing/individual", "x1 (plural) are one individual", or something like that. But I think other people would disagree with this interpretation.
