That's more or less what we've tended to do locally (and roll for just the worst sneaker), though we'll compare the result to all involved. This does have the effect that it means you never have the capable sneaker hit the buried bone or the less capable observer just happening to be looking in the right direction, but it seems the lesser of two evils.
I've also personally tended to modifier the rolls based on the number of participants; for each doubling of observers in BRP I've added 5%, for each doubling of stealthers subtract it from their rolls. That represents some of the advantage/disadvantage without having it get crippling quickly.
