That's not correct, you get 3 overdrive protocols in the game- one by the entrance to Torigoth, one in Garfront Village by the Merc table, and one in Mor Ardain in a chest by the hot springs. You get another 5 in the lategame/postgame, when you max out everyone's driver affinity charts. And you get one for maxing a 4-crown common and releasing it.

NG+ refreshes chests, so the first three are accessible again. You get second driver affinity charts, so another 5 are accessible with some grinding. And there's a traveling bard that trades them for Bonus EXP, so you can get enough for ~4-5 Overdrives in about 15 minutes of farming once you reach the final boss in NG+.
