Certainly do not need all four or five officials to meet on the 5 yardline to record a score.
I believe normal mechanics are to move to your position and record your score there.
As for the BJ (5-man NF mechanics) or HL (4-man NF mechanics) heading up the middle of the field, I have no problem with that. However, going up the scroing team sideline would be better, that way he can get a ball should there not be one behind the goal post as some ball people may do for the crew.
Line Judge does not have to go out on the field at all prior to a freekick. He normally just starts right on the 50. That's what the NF official manual shows in their diagrams and verbage for a freekick.
