Active balanced outputs might be "floating" or "non-floating".  
What you say is true for the "non-floating", but the "floating" 
behaves more like a transformer.

OK .. but better to ground the common point between left and 
right.  Don't leave it floating.

If the output is "active floating" it is important to ground the 
common point.

Also, you are assuming that the balanced input is really 
balanced.  That's not necessarily true.  It is usually only a 
half-truth.  The common one-op-amp differential input is not 
truly balanced.  You might end up with an unequal sum of the 
channels.
