An extra spotter for a task that involves precision at distances is always helpful.

I thought this was the coach's role. That said, if using one of the HPs as a coach or scorekeeper works better for your alliance, I see nothing in the rules to prevent this. It appears that HPs and Drivers are permitted the same sets of actions. Coaches are more restricted.
FWIW, I expect that finals-quality alliances will need three working HPs to get those 40 game pieces out from behind the alliance wall to where they can be scored.
