It's pretty simple to deploy all the shuttles with "Divide TG" and default orders, and recovering them is just a matter of using the "Land on assigned carrier" order. It's also way less dangerous to have the carrier sit on the jump point while the shuttles do all the scouting: its already saved one of my carriers already, and I even only had to replace a single shuttle. The only difficult thing I have found is designing decent survey craft that are still <500 tons, you might have some trouble getting the range to survey larger systems without ordering a refuel or needing the carrier to repair a sensor.
