I have seen people fitting solid flywheel to VW PD diesel engines and these never had them as standard and they have no issues other than it sounding horribley clattery as the DMF is designed to absorb vibrations to quieten things down and make for smoother running.

Without a duel mass any excess vibration is not taken up via the smaller and larger mass but rather directly on your drive train. There is plenty of written examples on line of people fitting single mass and damaging components.
We all need to agree that the DMF is smoother, easier on drive train and to original specification.
Whist likely the single mass will cause no problems we are relying on people on the internet as assurance.
Look, it’s like this. A single mass has a single advantage, price. And in this instance the price of the single mass is censiderable and possibly the same as the dmf in the first place! It offers nothing.
