Leaving single pawl in a 120pt Chosen hub for noise reduction

Since I'm unable to find any similar wheels with cartridge bearings in similar price range then the last option (after trying out PFPE miracle grease which is supposed to last way longer due to good wetting ability on metals (low surface tension)) is to go with a single pawl instead of three. Some people on forums said that they "don't see the reason for more than one pawl from mechanical standpoint other than to fallow the trend of increased noise level, anyone who thinks otherwise has been skipping engineering lectures, more pawls will just accelerate the wear of engagement ring".
These pawls with multiple teeth seem to have the load spread over wider area anyway and the teeth are too small to break, seems like they can only wear down.
