In the future I hope to obtain an AMD Threadripper 9000 series CPU and motherboard. My concern is that RAM prices have tripled over the past two months, and although the motherboard supports eight DDR5 SDRAM sticks, can I operate the system with just one stick temporarily? It’s not perfect, but it’s hard to estimate how much it would cost for the required RAM. I’m considering spending around five thousand dollars or more for the necessary components. I might manage to buy one stick right now. I’ve been told that RAM prices are unlikely to drop in the next decade.

Certainly you are allowed, but if you plan to expand later it wouldn't be wise. The explanation applies to every architecture, whether dual channel, quad channel or even more channels like many modern systems do, since it's essential to make sure all components work harmoniously. Following my previous advice will clarify this point. It remains valid 100%. Take the full text into account, it will justify itself, especially the part about mixed memory.
