If you’re using MM mono cartridge then a cartridge generator must be true mono, but you can add stereo stylus with advanced profile (or any profile you need for different mono records)! Check this thread.
If your records are new mono reissues then you don’t need those old mono cartridges with huge conical styli (they are made for mono records pressed before 1950 with wider groove).
The first question is pressing then you can choose a cartridge for them.
I wouldn’t even buy a re-issues, old mono originals are better.
New music rarely recorded in mono.
Buy original mono records if you want the best quality in mono.
