Seems like a simple fall over or drop would break them too. I will stick with two mirrors to see both sides and provide a sense of even-ness to the bike, like twin pipes.
I remember a time (in the UK anyway) when a lot of bikes only came with one mirror as a safety feature, prompting many an owner to buy a second to even things up. The early start of bike accessorising from the manufacturers maybe?
There is still no legal requirement to have any mirrors fitted to your bike in the UK. I think, but am not 100% certain, that they are mandatory in the rest of Europe.
There was a time when the left mirror was mandatory in Canada. Now left and right mirrors appear standard equipment for road use.
