Strengths and flaws help shape a character, even without going to such extremes as "one really amazing thing and one terrible thing." They don't even need to be "evenly balanced" either, unless you're going full Achilles Heel and are basically the best at everything except this one thing and that makes it okay, right guys?
And really, you shouldn't feel the need to force yourself to make your characters great or terrible at things, either. There's nothing wrong with having strengths and weaknesses grow organically through the development of a character.
