So if thrust reverse NEEDS to be used for WHATEVER reason, what's the effect of having it work on one side only ?

Depends on a/c type but on your average twin jet, not a lot - just a modicum of rudder to keep straight and obviously not as much retardation as you'd have if both reversers were working.
