If you maintain your filters and keep them clean so that fuel has no problem passing through them then you will not have a problem no matter how many you have. The problems start when they become clogged and you start restricting the fuel flow. Since the one in the tank is the hardest to get to, many people neglect it, even though it's your first line of defense. So it's really up to you. If you maintain your filters you'll be fine. If not then your engines performance will eventually suffer.

I ditch the screen on the pickup, if there's something there, I want it to get sucked up and caught in the water seprating filter. If it just stays in the tank, it will be a continual problem till you remove the pickup, clean it out and hope you got it all. i would also remove the anti siphon valve and replace it with an approved shut off valve(Outboard only). If you have an I/O, replace the anti siphon valve with an electric anti siphon valve. It will help with vapor lock issues.
