I use a two-screen setup and it works pretty well. One gets the main screen, the other RME's Totalmix, plugin guis, help documentation etc. and the console view when I use it.
If I were to add another screen I'd probably consider a multi-touch one that can be laid out almost horizontally and use it as a mixer/console view surface, a job I currently use an iPad for. Or maybe next to a synth rack so I don't have to turn round to see the screen while playing.
Ergonomics are definitely something to be wary of with multi-screen setups, as are potential sound reflections from nearfield monitors off the screens or the screen's position making a less than optimum (audio) monitor placement necessary. You might also find that a couple of 4K or 5K screens work better than three "ordinary" ones from a placement point of view while providing a lot of display space.
