Good to know I'll only have one shot at stopping the car in an emergency though.

That is really odd, I get three stops in my car (actually 3 of my cars) and it is general rule, minimum would be one full stop, imo.
But certainly better test that to be sure, also I think it could be possible to add vacuum reservoir of some sorts? That would improve safety of EOC for vehicles that fail to have enough vacuum reserves.
edit: I did check the law and it is two braking events that law requires at minimum. Your country may vary.
