Minions are basically your clean-up crew in a composition like this; they wipe the leftovers after the balloons wipe out the defense. More balloons=faster clearing of defense=more trophies.

I agree if you are going for trophy then more balloons are better.

I use balloons / minions to farm DE and gold in Crystal 3 and 2 so I just need the balloons to clear a path for minions to enter the core of the base. Plus, I just queue up balloons and minions in the barracks and what army comp I get is what I attack with (I like the set it and forget it method so no need to try to balance out the numbers). I typically get 10 - 14 balloons and the rest minions.
