MS project online single user license
The below documentation reads as though, a single Project Plan 1 (Project for the Web) license is required to create and assign tasks and only an O365 license is required to complete the assigned tasks.

I have seen mixed information on this on the web and was just hoping for some definitive confirmation.
Also, any advice on implementing this in a way that would avoid the whole signing up a team for a trial would be greatly appreciated.

In my previous post the E3/E5 license are the O365 licenses you mentioned and regarding tasks, they can only set % Complete and mark a task completed.
As for licensing, unless the users in your environment by default have an E3/E5 license they'll have to sign up for a trial or you'll have to sign-up for a monthly subscription.
Microsoft will prompt E3/E5 users with a Get trial, or Get subscriptions button in various place: Project Home page, Planner Hub, etc. You sharepoint admin can disable the Get trials button, but the Get subscriptions button cannot be disabled per our conversations with Microsoft.
