Alternative opinion:
One reason we buy arrangers is so that we can quickly start making music WITHOUT taking piano lessons for years.
I would encourage you to learn the full fingered chords (no single-finger). It's just as easy to learn the full chord, and that will let you progress, where 1-finger chords limit your development.
Sure, if you have time, learn and practice the basic scales, left hand runs, etc. If you just want to make good music the "easy" way, learn chords and right--hand melodies.
