They learn how to handle well too, and sometimes that is this best quality

I think it's important to solo a young hound to fully develop it's potential, but also run it with the pack so it becomes a team player. I don't want any "me too" pack-only hounds, they should all be able to jump/run their own rabbit and work well within the pack....

Soloing is just a tool to find out if the dog has the ability to jump and run a rabbit efficiently. A dog will develop just fine if it has a brain, enough nose, and desire to run a rabbit. I doubt if Gay Baker was ever ran solo in his life and he did just fine.
