I would think that the reduced field of view would cause more problems for someone fully used to one eye than the loss of stereoscopic vision.
It's not like that part can be compensated for with practice other than maybe by always bobbing one's head around like a bird.

As another anecdote:
My mom and I once played catch with one eye closed. After a few minutes of fumbling, I was no clumsier than I am normally, though admittedly that is still pretty clumsy.
