Indeed, two is the bare minimum the series needs to survive. So the further away we get from that, the better...especially considering that two of the manufacturers are even connected to each other and as such are not completely separate entities.
To be in a real stable state, the series needs two non-VAG factories competing because we never know how long the "allowance" of having two makes race each other at VW will list.
Right now, we're barely there, especially as it is still looking like Nissan's effort will be short-lived. So at least one more manufacturer is pretty much needed for long-term stability.
