I figure Palpatine probably boarded the first one offscreen in some non-movie canon material. Even considering Palpatine, Wedge outlived everyone else who had been to both Death Stars.

I’m meaning on location, not just being involved remotely. The only surviving Rebel pilots of the Battle of Yavin are Luke, Wedge, and Evaan Verlaine. Verlaine’s introduction retconned Keyan Farlander‘s story, who would have been the only other Rebel pilot present at both the Battle of Yavin and the assault on the DS2.
I know that Sabine was at endor, she may have not been at Yavin, flying in the space battle.
Hera was in the theater involved in the fight. And given the nature of Disney Canon, you have to add the “that we know of” to that list of survivors.
They’d bring back Porkins if they thought they could sell some merch.
