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.

There is really no need for another brake, providing this doesn't fail.

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.

You'll get used to fixed quicker than you imagine. The first couple of attempts to freewheel will jolt you into the rhythm quick sharp! Braking with legs takes a little longer as you'll need to develop the strength but once you have you'll appreciate never touching the brake lever.
