With a freewheel the tensioner only prevents the chain from jumping off, doesn't actually take the strain of the drivetrain (which is on the 'top' of a conventional chainline).
So a single tensioner on the right hand side, used with the leftie drivetrain set at correct tension would be okay.. right?
