Not that I give a damn if an official goes sans-lanyard or not but:
There are a LOT more than one or two who officiate sans-lanyard. I can think of four or five right off the top of my head, that go sans-lanyard, including playoff and Finals officials. The NBA does it right IMO (and has the luxury of doing so) in not worrying about silly things like this and leaving it to a personal preference.
Lastly, I have to disagree with your last point. Some of the best officials with the best mechanics that I see are without the lanyard. As long as one practices their mechanics with either method, you're bound to look fine.
