Might work if you're always on a proper stage. In real life gigging you're likely to be stuck in all sorts of places that might or might not lend themselves to using the line array as intended, thereby eliminating the need for monitors. I think it prudent always to have a Plan B.

A few years ago, I bought an older model Bose L1 used, in great shape at a great price from a fellow AGFer. Man, has that thing come in handy in a wide variety of setting! Most of the time when I use it, I don't need a monitor. But it's not well suited for everything I do. I still use my Ultrasound AG50 amp more than the L1, because I often play in two kinds of situations:
On a Musicians Friend Stupid Deal of the Day a while back, I also bought a little Gemini ES 08P, a 2-channel 8" powered speaker, primarily as a mini-PA for when even the AG50 was a bit much. It has also seen double duty as a stage monitor/sound disperser on occasion. Haven't had to use it with the L1 yet, but can foresee a time when it might be handy. I like having flexibility! cotten

My duo partner and I use a Fishman SA300X system w/Expander and Sub for 99% of our gigs. No need for monitors. On the very rare occasion we need something louder, the venue either provides the system or we use 2 QSC K10's with Fishman Loudbox Mini's as monitors. I've never played an acoustic gig where I've had to bring more than that and I've averaged about 70 gigs/year over the last several years.

Don't be afraid to experiment with in ear monitoring. Light and efficient
