Regardless of axle setup, it is strongly advised to have two support points (bearings) to fully support the "beam". Whether they are in the wheel (notice all AM wheels take two coaxial ball bearings) or in the frame (even cantilevered WCDs have two bearings per axle)...doesn't matter. You don't want to put radial loads onto a single ball bearing.
