I have by necessity done some games by myself (not many), but the more I think about it the more I think that the only good spot for an umpire in 1 man mechanics is near the pitcher. And from there the pickoff play at 1B is no big deal.
I will admit that I have only done 1 varsity game by myself and I did it from behind the plate. And I remember calling an out on a pickoff to 1B, because it looked like an out from where I stood. But it really was not close. It would have to be obvious to call from behind the plate.
