Not true. I actually did it in the sim last month when I had some time to kill. 47K tow 30 degrees c. Only used up about 6.5-7K of runway. Performance wise it takes off (at 47k) with one engine about the same as a 53K crj on both engines. Of course the climb is less.....and you will not get any config warnings.

Vmcg on the CRJ is 96 kts. The steer by wire for the nose gear is not speed inhibited/disengaged. I had about 80% N1 till about 80 kts and about 85 N1 till 96 then full power after 96 and she did just fine.....and never touced the tiller, just rudder pedals. Maybe touched a brake once.
