1 will be enough mate. Is the chassis strong enough to cope with a good tug off it.

for the cost of it and the time taken two is always better, think of the time its buried in mud right over the only recovery point you have, then it will seem that the extra cost and ball ache would have been worth it.
I was thinking that two means less stress on the chassis aspecally on a kinetic snatch

But u said "I don't do heavy mud n stuff" so when will u use a kinetic snatch?
No haven't taken the tow hitch off yet but I'm going to, I know I said I don't do heavy mud but I have a friend I go out with but I don't trust him for a steady pull he's a100mph everywhere sort I'm in the process of trying to get slow down and take he's time a bit

Fit 2, get a small bridle and when you do venture off road, two shackles and a bungee cord secure it to the vehicle and your spare 
Been upto the sills in gloop and needed to get to the rings and never made the same mistake again, hop out, hook up and enjoy the rest of the day

Fit two just incase you get stuck and you can't access your only recovery point.

Also the bolts that go thru the rear cross member. Are 19mm nut and bolt. Bumper should come off to access but i managed to get spanner on nut and get them off without removing so try that before taking bumper off.

Or like me, I cut a slot along the tube and welded it back up once the rusted bolt had been knocked through.

If you can weld and feel confident in your welds you could make something like this?
Admittedly I over engineered it but at least it isn't going anywhere!
Mostly made from 8mm and 20mm thick steel and then parts of the old tow bar which is pretty thick in itself.
Doesn't act like a plough like a tow bar does either.

From my short experience of off roading you can never have enough recovery points.
