Hey everyone! Michigan asks for "no more than two" optional essays. Does anyone have insight on whether it would put me at a disadvantage to only write one? Michigan is one of my top choices, so I don't want them to think I'm not willing to go the extra mile...

One really strong optional is better than one really strong optional plus one mediocre optional. If only one of the optional prompts speaks to you, only write that one.
I think you should be weary when admissions say optional. When they say "optional", I don't think it usually is. I'd say write it unless you really can't think of anything and what you're writing sounds forced and insincere.
