1. I only used the front brake on my previous bike (for.. 1.5 years) and it was enough.
2. These kind of articles make me think it's not that important. They talk about the braking surface being a marketing gimick.
3. I only do 3-4 miles a day to work an back and ride nicely without going bonkers and am always super aware of my surroundings. There is really no need for another brake, providing this doesn't fail.

Not to be pedantic, as I'm sure you've already made up your mind, but this is precisely the point of a rear brake with a freewheel.

You are right.

I will soon switch to fixed (bought two fixed cogs already) once I get used to the bike and learn how to brake with my legs aswell.

That being said, I never had a brake fail on me and I predominantly used the front one.
