If I go 2nd, my stone refuses to fill from awaken. Having 1 fury is still better than none, but a full stone unit plus ua that if you're lucky has a 7" aura after turn 2 is really hard to cover units in SR.

I am used to that. I always try to cover that, that will be hit in my opponents turn. There is hardly any need to cover all models at a given turn unless you play a beast brick

The number of stone scribes are not only important for the max size of the aura. They are also important since most opponents will try to snipe at your stone, and having more bodies means it will take longer before the stone is totally gone. In a perfect world the stone is always protected behind other things and no one ever gets to it, but in reality, some stone scribes usually dies, and some times a lot of them die. You might have to use some to block charges, or to run and contest and having 2 extra dudes is basically worth 3 points. Especially at turn 5 or so when you buff them up and finish off some stuff they have no business killing

The stone unit can get +2 str with the NK elder and pow 12 is nothing to sneeze at. Together with a Fell Caller +2 hit they can do some work your opponent in not expecting.
