Single-piece Ashtabula crank on a fixed gear

The crank is indeed showing signs of wiggle. I understand everyone loves the 3- piece cranks, but I like the Ashtabula--do I really need to switch? No need to swtich at all. If that was the case, wouldn't coaster brakes cause the same problem? Think of how many coaster brake cycles there are out there with one piece crankcs.
