I'll need your context sentences for your first question, but the 'last leg of a race' is the last section of it.

No one should have to stand in line = It is not right/proper that people (must / be required to / find it necessary to) stand in line
Type traits should need consider extended integral types. -- This sentence seems incorrectly composed to me; it would read better as:
Type traits (should be / need to be) considered extended integral types

The situation forces/obliges (have to) people to stand in line for 10 hours. That should not happen. It's unfair. The shouldn't have to/be obliged do that.

Type traits will/may probably need to consider integral types |

Yes, Molly's rephrasings are also good options.

Is it the "should need (modal) + verb" you find incorrect?
How about this one?
