re: Are two kitchen cooktop burners enough?

Someone said it earlier but if nothing else, a safe place to move a hot pot or pan to quickly is worth having the extra burners. I don’t want to move my boiling over mac and cheese to a trivet on my granite counters. Or pull my 500+ degree pizza stone out of the oven and then realize that I grabbed it with the cheap oven mitt and have nowhere to go with it.
That being said, what would you do with the extra space that losing two burners gives you? It would make a stupid looking dip in your existing counter space.
That also being said, I can’t believe that many people in this thread don’t need more than two burners. On a scale of 1 to 10, (1 can barely boil water and 10 is Gordon Ramsey) I am about a 3, and I need three burners all the time. I will have rice in one pot, something in another, and then my wife will say “hey, I want some English peas too”, so our comes the little pot that fits one can of something and it goes on the third burner.

NO. Just. No.
I lived in a place with two burners and while you rarely need them, when you do, you are good and truly boned. It's infuriating and a huge hit to quality of life if you enjoy cooking.
Maybe if you have a portable one to set up, but you'd better make damned sure you have enough room so that setting it up doesn't rob you of so much counter space that you're then at a loss for horizontal surfaces.
Two burner stovetops/ranges are the devil.

My in laws have 4 ovens and 8 burners. He uses most of them all the time. Whenever I cook there, I'll use a lot of it as well. It comes in handy for large dinners, which we do pretty often.

Similar to the dual ovens, I think people justify having them more than needing them
I mostly use the second oven as a proofer.

Imagine cooking breakfast and you have eggs in one skillet, sausage on another and gravy for the biscuits on another. That’s three and it’s just breakfast! Lol
