I would think that deactivating one thrust reverser would lead to serious asymetric thrust problems.

It’s an Airbus. Chances are good that the computer wouldn’t allow the use of just one thrust reverser for just that reason, even though it might have saved the aircraft (once the wheels are on the ground, asymmetric thrust is much less of an issue).
