Love lots of lighting...but...only for slow going like off roading.
IF going FAST, then eyeballs need to be looking out there to provide time to adjust (swerve, brake, etc) and with low beams one...might cause a enough of a distraction to miss whatever is 'out there' in the distance...
There is a metric that should be considered for multiple sources of lighting when going fast and has to do with shadowing vs eyeball height. Gotta see enough detail and that shadow to make out distance (time to swerve or brake). Too bright will wash out that depth perception
