There's been plenty of practice. An inline 6 is about as good as it gets with durability and vibration. But car manufacturers keep using 4 and even sometimes 3 cylinder engines despite the drawbacks. A 1 cylinder enigne would be another step in that direction.
Of course I said single cylinder. An opposed piston, single cylinder, 2-stroke engine would be better than an inline 3 or 4 cylinder 4-stroke engine in some respects.
