I have two Cygolite Metro 1100 Pros attached on my handle bars. It’s getting darker outside now, and drivers have been pretty terrible lately.

As long as they’re not aimed up where they would blind other people, they’re fine. I’m sure there’s a limit of some sort, but it’s hard to go too far on being visible in the dark.
You could have one Flash for visibility and one constant for traceability. I kinda like it.
I have one on my bike and wear one on my head so I can see where my eyes are looking as well.
I have a second light as well, however it’s only used as a backup & I don’t run both lights at the same time. It’s really hard for other bikers to see, if you’re on a bike path & it’s two-lanes.
I have night ridden with *one* of those for about a year now without incident.
THERE! ARE! TWO! LIGHTS! -Captain Jean Luc Picard
OP, I, frankly, don’t believe you can overkill this (within reason). Go big and add two more so you have FOUR! LIGHTS!
Anyway, for daytime I have a headlamp on the bars with basic low intensity flash, and helmet cam with organic flashing pattern.
For dark I have a solid on the bike and flashing on the helmet cam.
I also have a three (3) rear lights, one solid, one organic flash, and a rear facing camera also with organic flash on my helmet.
Others here have stated it many times: always assume that no one can see you, regardless of how many lights you are using.
Yes….Point those things down at least so you aren’t blinding people.
One spare light!
Long as their batteries don’t die at the same time.
That much power pointed at the same place, both always on… is overkill, in my opinion.
One only on when needed? Perfectly reasonable.
I run two, albeit 350 because I haven’t updated since prices have come down. But one usually gets mounted on my helmet. I have a bar attachment for it but it’s more for storage when not needed.
