They still do it like that at Breuer's, in Washington Heights. There's one mourner, and he says the kaddish. If you want to be that guy, you have to talk with the gabbai ahead of time. There's something dignified about it.
The way they deal with the pace thing in some shuls I've been to is the rabbi says the kaddish, very loud and clear and at a reasonable pace, and you match him. Seems to work.
