I'm wondering if the setup will be imbalanced if I only install one of the arms. I want to use both eventually, but for now I only have one monitor. I would rather buy one monitor arm rather than clutter up the desk with another.

Hey!

No, you will not (should not) have any problems. I also used it with only one monitor for a bit. 
As you see in the picture it has this flat surface that goes under the table and the one above and this really helps in distributing the weight onto a larger area, compared to these "weaker" circle like fasteners.

I, personally, prefer how they do it here with this flat surface and can highly recommend them in general.

Your data. Your choice.
