I did that. (Well, I quit at ~1800 since it got too boring, missing some 1000 dev from ~20 minors so it would have taken few hours to finish).
I was the Confucian Mughal Holy Roman Emperor. Started England, became HRE, passed the 5th reform that makes the emperorship heraditory (so you can change religion), gave up my Christian land to vassals (they take no diplo slots anyways), now had muslim-majority so I could force convert myself, formed the Mughals, attacked Korea for some Confucian land, force converted myself again. I think it was around 1570 when I got the Confucian. After I released Deccan (the Mughals mission that gives permanent +10% admin efficiency), my core-creation cost was pretty cheap.
25 mughals + 20 admin + 10 hre + 10 china + 10 china + 10 hindustan culture = 95% CCR, which is the cap. Add 80% admin efficiency and golden age for extra -10% mana costs to that. Everything also cored in 6-9 months (depends if I conquered all the provinces of that culture in the war or not.)
I was initially going for true 1-tag, but gave it up when I found that American cultures don't give any assimilation bonuses :/. (There is also one more culture group that doesn't give bonuses, the random siberians in north east Russia. Unlike American cultures, they are added to the culture list, they just don't give any bonus.)
