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 like th way you think. May I ask what your chain would look like with four?

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....

i often run an rv-3 or rv-5, big sky, dispatch master, and ghost disaster at the same time. i never met a reverb i didn't like. including shimmer.

can you send a pic of your pedalboard and maybe explain the switching system?
because that seems fucking amazing
