I do one hand all the time. Both in the dueling stance (with as you said less exposure) and with the old police method of crouching with your left hand (or right if you are left handed) shielding your chest.
I do this with my .38 OP and my 1911 A1.
With my 6 inch Highway Patrolman .357 I often use two hands as I am target shooting. But even with that one, I practive with one hand.
I like on hand shooting pretty much for the reasons you stated.
