I remember we used to just be able to upload a file called .album, but I'm not seeing that anymore..is it still possible? I want to use some photos for album covers, but don't want to upload them to the photos albums.

There is not a module for this but you can replace the file in
gallery3/var/thumbs/<album_name>/.album.jpg
make sure you replace it with the same size.

Yes, but still it would be better to make it easier.

That is why there is G2. For things that are rare cases that would not be used much.
