Well, except that with a triple you have a front derailleur to help keep the chain from derailing off the chain ring; with a 1x you do not. You can help ameliorate the tendency for 1x to throw the chain by changing to "old style" tooth profile chain rings, but that tendency is always there lurking. The original AM-7 Moulton was a 1x, and some bikes had such a tendency to throw the chain particularly on rough road surfaces that they described their bikes as "being possessed by the Devil."
