Yes, under most circumstances. Aircraft taxis fine on one engine. As a matter of fact, with two engines running you have to ride the brakes quite a bit to keep it from accelerating. It also saves gas and mainline (who is paying for it) and the environmentalist love that.
Look, it's not that hard and as a CA you should know how long it will take you to taxi to the gate. Shut it down after cool down and wait to start the APU until you get within throwing distance to the gate. It spins up so quick it will be up and running by the time you set the brake.

It isn't, at least for us it can be either engine. Not sure about Envoy. Most of the time it is the number 2 engine, but if I need to make a hard right into the gate I will have the FO shut off number 1.

And as others stated, you have some safety factors to keep in mind.

The 175 can taxi on number 1. ACMP 2 switch needs to be turned from AUTO to ON, or you’ll find yourself in the grass. In other words, it creates an unnecessary threat. So with that in mind it’s probably better just to taxi on 2.

You also seem to misunderstand what the logic for the auto position is for the hyd ac pumps.
