It took me about a month, or about 20 hours of training, before I could do Deashi well enough to use in randori.

If there are that many higher belts you are more likely to randori sooner since you won't have to know ukemi as well as if your opponents were all white belts. Sankyu and higher should all be throwing you into ukemi, especially if you are new and inexperienced.

In the beginning classes our white belts randori with sankyu and higher for their first few randori sessions. It's our job to keep them safe while teaching them movement, breathing, awareness, kuzushi, and all the really hard lessons to learn. -ken
