no, we do have multiple interfaces and multiple cards from time to time.

no, just make sure that you run lots of independant channels from your
central uplink.
Funkfeuer.at is providing BW to the whole network via one single uplink.

c.f.: https://maps.wireloss.net/funkfeuer/

(unfortunately you need to log in to get a complete picture of all links
and signal qualities).
Anyway, you can see nicely that we basically run a network of this size
with one single uplink.
There are DSL uplinks (connecting via VPNs to the main one) but these
are more for redundancy in case there is a blackout somewhere.
