I believe this is where skill and forsight comes into play. Good positioning will eliminated several problems, and cleanse and barrier solve several others. Unless the other team is specifically built to counter you and yours (unlikely, but it does happen).

However, I do agree with you: You are right, gold should be spread out, to avoid having all your eggs in one basket. See my 19/6/7 Assassin Rengar Game where I took 41 mins to finish what should have been done in 20.
