A good group project with people who are mature enough to handle someone's expression of vulnerability without judgement might be what keeps them in the class.
If you reject someone over an expression of doubt, it was never about the doubt.

Group projects don't need to be more infantilising, they need to be more "shape up or ship out!"
Also, in my experience, the people who express such feelings are the ones who tend to be willing to do a lot of work and also the boring work needed to finish the thing.
The one person doing all the work in group project imo, is because group projects are quite dumb exercises. It has little to do how real cooperation in just a little competently managed work works and keeps more hardworking people hostage to lazy ones. Regardless of whether it is lazy or hardworking who is more open about his state of mind. It has nothing to do with infantilization - many adults in same situation will slack, because that is how incentives are lined up.
