The only downside is once done, the other side won't look so nice.
I would recommend against doing a touch-up as it will usually look worse if you are not experienced at doing this. Get a black sharpie pen and colour the defects (not recommending as a permanent repair..lol) as this will give you an idea of how a touch-up will look if you are not going to sand down the area. If you are going to attempt to repair the damage, fill and sand you will be painting a much larger area. You will need to scotch and clear coat half the bumper.
Best option if you don't want to spend so much money is it leave as it is or find a mobile smart repairer.
I agree that if you only spray half the bumper it will not look right as the other side will have stone chips and some fading. I would bite the bullet if you are going to keep the car and get the entire bumper painted. If you are planning on selling do half the bumper. Good luck

Re: Can this be touched up?
looks good and to be honest if you are selling most people will not notice. Good job
