I enjoyed the 'The Thrill' Conquest in S7, it turned out easier than expected at the start of my effort. But that was solved via legs, and skills tuned to the bonuses on those selected legendaries. GR45 was not the limit, a refined build could have gone higher (in the classes I've checked, there are LoN builds near the leaderboard top).
But what about a rare-only build? How high can it go, as there are no bonuses to empower your skills.
Power comes from different sources now. All you need are multiplicators - and there are various ways to get them: 1) Set bonuses, 2) other legendary effects, 3) legendary gems, 4) paragon, 5) augments... probably forgot some stuff. I think Crusader or WD might be the strongest classes to go for a rare only challenge because the base damage of their skills are really high. If you don't use legendary gems, no paragon, and no legendaries (and therefore obviously no sets and augments) you'd probably still be able to clear GR35-40. GR30 and the T5 rift for Slayer should be super easy. Remember that we're all doing a GR20 with ease at season start to get Haedrig's Gift, and you can do this with yellows only easily; so with a bit of optimization and pushing and fishing GR30 is no huge deal. More than Slayer probably not. I don't even think the biggest issue is GR40, but T10 in 6 minutes for Champion... I don't think that'll work. Maybe with an insane amount of fishing to get a double Conduit Fields of Misery map, but I'd consider that cheating ;-)
Hmm, yup you are obviously going to have lgems, and that helps a lot. So the time to stop rifting is when you get stopped/slowed out, and THEN finish the early chapters....not the sequential way I've been doing it. I really appreciated your Tracker even more when I recently reset it, in order to track a completely fresh test start on EU (which now will include early grifts for lgems). The number of non-tiered tasks was larger that I had noticed in previous seasons. I had that Tracker open every playing session to plan how I was going to get done, far better than in previous times when the requirements were shuttered.

Wudijo had legs in the cube...but that can be the best place for low levels...still you get max bonus.

Looking at http://d3resource.com/journey/
Can a rare-only build complete Slayer? Or is it stopped at 3rd gift bag? Or even eariler/later?

ModeratorSlayer is easily doable. A while ago Wudijo did a GR40 with rare items only - however, he used legendary gems:
