You should be fine with just the one. To this point we've had limited in-house testing of wiring configurations, but of the two installs completed of a 3-camera system such as you have (most installs are of a single back-up camera), a single 12V PWM Filter, # VGR64VR has resolved the issue. I recommend you install a single 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems, # VGR64VR.

You also have the option of using the 7-Way Vehicle Power Adapter w/ Power Switch for Furrion RV Observation Camera, # FR87PR. This too resolves the power issue for 2021 and newer GM vehicles using a simple adapter plug. However, between the two options available I recommend the installation of the 12V PWM Filter for RV Backup Camera Systems, # VGR64VR over the Furrion adapter. It is a permanent solution once wired in, better price point, and no adapter that can be accidently damaged. But the option is available if you want simple plug and play resolution.

I have the Furrion vision S+ 3 camera set up. I'm getting the "no signal" alert. I bought the Furrion 7-way adaptor and that did not work. AI said the 3 hi-def cameras are still pulling too much power. It suggested using the filter but said I could get away with just one filter up front at "the box" where the 7-way umbilical cord connects to the trailer. My concern is if one filter will be enough for 3 high def cameras. AI says it will be fine if done up front. I I do it behind the box, I would need 1 for each camera. Thoughts?

@CraigB you need a filter for each circuit the cameras are connected to. In most cases this is the running light circuit. If you install it before it gets to what I'm assuming is a junction box a single filter is fine. If you do it "behind" the junction box you need one for each wire running to the cameras.
