The issue isn't "more pistons", it's clamping force. A single piston caliper works fine on my 7,000 lb crewcab dually. It's piston AREA that matters. The single piston calipers work fine if you've properly matched the master cylinder and properly bled the system. Increasing the number of pistons only helps if this increases the total piston area.
