Yep, and you‘ll benefit from the case that the Bose‘s preamp mixes the two stereo channels to one mono one.

Right and I expect it mixes them ore properly than sending the R and L to the 2 mono Inputs, where they are supposedly interpreted as 2 independent mono (= "center") signals, but it is something to test on the actual equipment.
Anyway Bose in the FAQ of the L1 Pro 8 states the following:
How can I take advantage of instruments or devices that deliver stereo output?
L1 Pro systems are monophonic PA systems. In order to achieve stereo output, a user must use two systems and a ToneMatch mixer. A DJ Controller or other mixing console with dedicated left and right outputs can also be used to run two L1 Pro systems in stereo.
So, going back to the original questo "if you are unable to separate R/L outputs and split the "stereo" sound, is it okay to just use the "Headphone" output and straight to the speaker to get an equal sound?" in general the answer is negative, you don't get an "equal sound" because headphones output is stereo so you have exactly the same challenges as if you were using the normal stereo outputs and you cannot connect directly to a mono speaker and expect to get the same sound.
