It seems I should not subject my immune system to unnecessary work (second jab) that doesn’t produce results.
What risk are you worried about here? The paper says a second dose produces “muted responses” but the second dose not doing as much as the first is expected (the same thing happens for people who haven’t had COVID). Why do you want to avoid making your immune system do work?
But if you really don’t want the second shot for whatever reason, you can just sign up for both and then cancel the second appointment after you get your first shot.

Because a few immunologists suggested it is not a good thing to subject one’s immune system to unnecessary work.
There are other threats it might have to deal with, so I would like to avoid useless / distracting labor.
