The "I don't care part" is a bit hard for me to interpret. Also I can not tell exactly what sound variation if any that you are willing to accept. Further more then the actual use sound of libraries might depend on user settings and on the way that user plays/use…
The internet suggests that "Those are real strings, recorded by Filmorchester Babelsberg" and when I listen to the Rammstein Mein Herz brennt and then started auditioning sounds then I thought that a number of things could be tweaked to sort of sound like and more things could be used if one were to apply some 'artistic reinterpretation' . E.g. since you mention FM8 then that appear to have a number of string sounds that one could use if one wanted to add some personal sound to it rather than go for the exact same. But if you want a more similar sound then I think that you would need to dive into something more 'real strings' as in 'classical instruments' . I am very far from being an expert in any of this but when I auditioned sounds then I imagined that e.g. "Action Strings 2" or "Emotive Strings" might produce something at least somewhat similar sounds if used (and tweaked ?) as one wanted to. But if you check out the compare page for the Komplete 15 bundles then you will see that the 'Classical instruments' generally are part of Komplete 15 Ultimate and Komplete 15 Collectors Edition.
Please remember that the most economic way of getting a nice collection of sound libraries usually always is getting the Komplete 15 bundle tier that satisfies your needs. Unless that you really have no need for the rest of the bundles then it only rarely pays to start buying the libraries in bits…
Anyway then generally there is no need to upgrade to a higher Komplete 15 bundle tier if you do not really need it and I think that you should first try this approach : Open the Komplete Kontrol app and then search for the word 'String' and then start auditioning sounds to see what you think is usable of what you have so far. You can narrow selection by selecting and de-selecting individual libraries/products within the search that you have already performed…

Hi Poor Fellow,
i also think real strings would be nice. I use now Session Strings 2 for the Beginning. Somehow i got the best result with an old Kontakt 4 library i have. Those String ensemble sound much more like i need them, then the new session strings 2 in Kontakt 8. Funny but that is how i try nos to build it.
For the Intro i use two Strings from Session Strings 2 - 1920s for melody and Studio strings for accords. For me it sound pretty awesome.
Tell you more when playing with the band.
