LVM on a single disk still has its benefits.  It's nice to be able to
re-allot drive space amongst partitions when you find out down the
road that your initial assumptions were faulty.  LVM is also handy if
you plan on implementing full-disk encryption and only wish to deal
with one key for all of your drive's partitions.
