If you count amp reverb I'm running three. Not overkill. Could definitely use another.

I have three on my current board, and it's lovely. One early in the chain, one in the middle and one at the end. Go for it!

I'd like to run Reverberation Machine > Super Spring Theory > RRR > Talisman > WET

Well, no need for any other pedals that way. Plus you could play an hour before and go get some drinks while your band plays the show.

I used to have an RV3, a stereo WET and an Eventide Space on the same board.

Then I sold all of them, bought an Industrialectric reverb machine, Valhalla vintage verb VST (The greatest $50 you may ever spend, especially with the latest patches like this non linear fucker) and a heap of beer.

For my live applications (Soul/Psych band) the RM-1N covers absolutely every need I could possibly have.
For my bedroom droney shit, I set up a channel in my DAW with a desired verb from Valhalla vintage and and use that for extreme ambient/Hectic verb and still record with it effecting the channel in real time which I can hear through my headphones.. I often have the RM-1N cranked anyway and I find it almost enough by itself.

But that's just me and a reflection of my personal experience n shit.

I'm running a RM-1N and a Cathedral on my main board, with the individual L/R channels of the EHX each in their own TB loop = so, basically verb x 3. The Reverb Machine is my main real verb (and so much fucking more), coming late in the chain. The Cathedral is used more as a texture and noise generator, the whole thing rigged so I can run it before dirt, after dirt, before AND after dirt simultaneous, simultaneous w/o dirt, etc....

THEN, in the loop of my Superego (once it's all patched correctly) are 2x Alesis Ineko units. Usually have at least one, if not both, on a verb patch.

And I'm still considering a second RM-1N....

can you send a pic of your pedalboard and maybe explain the switching system?

because that seems fucking amazing
