I mean in real life, i imagine having just one arm will be messing with your balance. This alone needs some rehabilitation to reduce the dysfunction, imbalance or whatever. Moreover, this may affect Shanks' powerlevel since he was previously a lefty, wasn't he?

Can Oda flesh out some character story about how Shanks must struggle much more since he became crippled? Or can Oda be setting some kind of critical moment where BB took opportunity from Shanks' left-side disability, to finally give a fatal strike to Shanks?

It was said in some databook, or some extra material, that he didnt lose strength and we know that he got stronger since 6 years after the incident he became Yonko.

As for his daily life, maybe we'll see at some point any info on a SBS if a fan ask "how did Shanks do X with only one arm?".
But not in-manga since it's not smth relevant.

I dont think. Like I said, he became stronger after that and a Yonko, so his strength takes that variable into account.

He always used the right side. And never the wrong one.

Oda will come up with something like " 2 hands Shanks = Mihawk" but " 1 hand Shanks is just 1-2% weaker" so both sides can be happy.

The first half is canon. Shanks and Mihawk were indistinguishable in duels when Shanks had two arms.

If Shanks didn't make his sacrifice, he'd still be neck and neck with Mihawk.

Shanks losing an arm was an editor's strong suggestion because, according to him, if Shanks hadn't lost something, the chapter would have been devoid of drama.

So Oda has never intended to weaken Shanks in any possible way: the lost arm was done only for narrative purposes and wasn't even Oda's first decision.

Basically, Shanks is and always will be as strong as he could possibly be.

My fear is that I don't think oda's gonna do that. So far, i don't think i see Zoro's opponent doing some critical thinking about attacking his blind spot/Left side due to his left eye being Slashed or closed (He got One Eye). And despite having only One eye, Zoro is Strong and he doesn't Struggle with it. so i think Shanks is still Pretty Strong despite his one Arm

You don't need arms or legs in One Piece, only haki counts.
A dwarf with no arms and legs would no diff a giant with 12 arms and 4 legs if he has better haki.
