According to Juniper junos document,

"BGP checks whether the neighboring AS matches the AS of the external
peer to which the router is advertising. If there is a match, the
route advertisement is suppressed. Advertisement suppression is
enabled by default for BGP peers configured in non-VPN routing and
forwarding (VRF) instances, including the master instance."

We may not able to assume all ISP willing to or by-default add
"advertise-peer-as" into configuration if they use a Juniper router.
Also we may not able to assume ISP will not put a policy/route-map to
prevent route been advertised to the same AS.

If there is a need to use single-AS in multiple sites and these sites
need to communicate each other via Internet ISP, statically route
traffic to Internet (or a default route to Internet) would be safer.

If there is a need on this kind of communication, or the communication
been done via a tunnel with both sides using ISP's IP (interface IP)
as tunnel source, then there should have no risk to use single-AS in
multiple sites in terms of connectivity.
