Two crew is indeed a lot more work.

As much as I'd like to join the other class boats, missing out on the doublehanded practice (equipment/procedures check) would probably be a mistake leading into the Coastal Cup.

I don't see anything to prevent a double-handed crew in MORA (unless the SI's will forbid it), but unfortunately that division isn't allowed to use an autohelm, which will be a big help in gybes.
