Well, Meghan Markle does.
I believe that I might occasionally do something that I later realise that I should not have said.

I never say 'I' instead one 'one' though, as I understand that need to differentiate between the two things that I really ought to know about.

I sometimes might say 'I' instead of 'we', as I like to make it clear that I will be the one taking the lead when I have to face up to the challenges that I know I will encounter and I know that I will be able to overcome.

I hope that I have made myself clear on a point that I regard as being of importance.
"I never say 'I' instead one 'one' though,"

Eh?
yes it is OK

using one instead of I ( actually we were taught, 'you' - - you cant do that instead of 'it is forbidden' )

if it is about the death of our late Queen - then no ( altho I dunno - you can cd use 'I' word about how sorry you felt)

if it were about your latest day by the sea - yes deffo
It always looks and sounds odd to me when folk use, "one" when clearly referring to themselves rather than folk in general.
As ferlew said, Meghan Markle does.
In a speech she gave in Manchester recently, she managed to mention herself 54 times apparently.
It doesn't come across very well IMO.
If it is solely about about you then it is difficult to avoid but it should be possible to start some sentences with another word rather than I this, I that. Use words like also, or in addition, so that I is not always the first word.
