Or make some subtle changes to the arrangement and enjoy the space !

Having said that I like really stripped down, single guitar sounds like early Rory Gallagher, The Jam or The Toy Dolls. Use of space, dynamics and guitar orchestration (for want of a better phrase!). Weller in The Jam, for example, moving between riffing, simple rhythm playing and soloing in the same song.
As for "when am I ready?" You'll never be ready. It works in reverse, you become ready by doing it. - pmbomb
Lay into it, solo lower down, turn your amp up and use all the dynamics… you’ll enjoy it.
Played a number of gigs when a 2nd guitarist couldn’t make it.
The gap gives the song space to breathe and unless you are playing a full set of Status Quo to a Quo audience, very few will notice
The listeners mind tends to fill any major gaps anyway.
If you get the arrangement right and you like it better that way...
you'll only be splitting gig money between fewer people...

The guitar is a mid range instrument. Let the Bass do the heaving lifting of the low end.
Listen to a lot of power-trio music and you'll be able to work it out. I went from being a lead guitarist to a sole guitarist in a former band, and in the end I much preferred it. I did use more effects, but it wasn't the most important difference.
