>Is there a problem if I use multiple ground stakes?

No. And for simple connection, just take the heavy wire you are using
to bond the items together, and run the wire from one to the next, then
to the box. Then you only have one wire to connect to the boxes.

>Should they be connected to neutral at each of the 8 boxes as well as to
>the green terminal going to the outlets?

Again, if you can run the bonding wire through the terminals, so you
don't have to cut it, then run to the grounding stake.

What is desired is that each has a straight shot with a single path to
the ground. No ground wires in parallel.
