Are there any languages which have a coda BUT no coda clusters and only onset clusters? Languages like Hdi, where there are only onset clusters but where they violate the sonority sequencing principle, is not what I am looking for. I am after something like "the language has codas, but the only cluster it has is #TR, a plosive+liquid onset cluster".

Sedang, Spanish, Dakota and Italian might be the languages you are looking for. In these languages, complex onset is allowed but complex coda is not.
