Certainly, a person can always employ the single-sub route. But to be very honest, this is a worst-case scenario. You really want to use at least a pair of subs - setup as flanking subs. And if possible, add one or two more distant subs configured as multisubs.
It may seem like overkill, but there was a time when people thought anything more than two speakers for stereo was overkill. And a time before that when things were mono - just one speaker. Now many people run three mains, two to four surrounds, Atmos speakers up high and subs.
One can always work their way up in stages too. Mains first, then surrounds, then subs. Or you could start off with one sub on the LFE channel and then later add a second and setup as flanking subs. Then maybe later add one or two more as distributed multisubs.
