I still need to flow these carbs to determine how much these flow. The 228 zenith's I have flow 120cfm dry at 1.5" of Hg. I know they flow more at 3" but that is a bit light for a 5000-5500 295.

IMHO Two is plenty. Biggest benefit of dual carbs is balancing mixture - same with port dedicated triples (like the early Corvette or Harper). But in an open plenum manifold more then two throttles is hard to manage. There is only so much CFM demanded by the underlying engine - with each throttle/venturi servicing a fraction.
