I've done 2 monitors and 1 monitor + laptop screen, and a single monitor, and I mostly prefer single monitor. Sometimes 1 monitor + laptop is useful for webdev--or if I'm in a particularly chatty Slack (or whatever), but I've found the less I have to swivel my body/neck the better. The most successful 1 monitor + laptop has been is when I can put the laptop beneath the screen. But these days I find I don't want to suffer the laptop keyboard (well, really lack of TrackPoint--I have a ThinkPad USB Keyboard SK8855).

Maybe the only problem I have now is "webcam looks down on you", which I don't like and makes me consider 1 monitor + laptop beneath again. MBP keyboards are better now so... maybe I can suffer the trackpad? Maybe it won't give me RSI?
