Not yet mentioned, is the need for two people to deal with the aftermath of an emergency. One person to fly, one person to sort out the systems & abnormal checklists.

The automatics which make SP IFR ops possible in normal operation are likely to be in an unknown state - perhaps operative after checking, or perhaps completely unusable.
