It’s not a requirement for the CEO. In fact if you do, you get a slight increase in idle thrust and higher fuel burn from the single engine which almost defeats the point of a single engine taxi. However, both packs will operate.
On the NEO, it’s not recommended as you get a significant increase in thrust on the running engine which can make controlling the speed when taxiing an issue.
