It's not even a summoning spell, they can't be compelled to obey its demands - it even has to pay them for their services, and it could be a very interesting game centered around carrying out the dirty work for some demon lord while trying to find a way to break the bindings applied to the party and get away. Sort of like how people always insist that a Planar Bound creature will deliberately subvert tasks asked of it, except with PCs.


EDIT; but as noted, yeah. Extraplanar is a creature off its home plane. Outsiders are creatures whose bodies and souls are made up of the fundamental essence of their home plane, not just a resident there.
As I said, if it's something your players are all fine with, then sure, but the odds of randomly summoning the entire party by choosing their races is vanishingly small.
