Further to know is if you use a unimesh based on single skin rigging any edge needs to be merged cut edges cause breaks on bending, the figure will bend very smooth, using for example a scale armor for your figure also based on single skin but the scale armor is not unimesh but cut, it will allow a realistic bending without distorting and bending the scales when conformed to your unimesh single skin model.

All this naturally will take you further away from DS as DS does absolutely not support single skin and probably will not allow this support in the near future ( Locked feature ) so with unimesh single skin, compatibility to DS will totally be dropped.
