From what I understand, if there is a quantity of 1 for an item in the assembly, you cannot have a balloon with it's number only in both sheets of the drawing.

Sure it's possible. Just make your first sheet with your BOM-template, and with the same model active you create a new sheet with a regular (non-BOM) template. Put one or more views on the second sheet and click 'Create balloons - All'.

Without any balloons on any other sheet it will be easy. If you want, you can spread them over multiple sheets, but then you'll best place them 'By component'.
