Well, consider the fact that most panos (not all, Moose, just saying
most), benefit from keeping the sensor/film plane aligned with the
horizon. The overlapping shots aren't really all that critical for
alignment as long as you have sufficient overlap for the merge. You
can accomplish a very good pano with just a monopod. It will take a
little practice to learn how not to tilt it, but a monopod works great
for this application.
