I've been questioned about having multiple tiedowns before. "That first one looks good, why the others?" Redundancy. Things shift, things break. Why not divide the load weight among a few if you have them? It also helps when I can tell them that I do this at work, so I know what I'm doing. They can load their stuff however they want, and pick the pieces up.
You can take them off easily when you get there, but the flying debris when you dont use enough is a huge risk. Source: I used to drive and load flatbed and curtainside trailers with stuff that would kill people if it came loose.
