There's no added benefit - it just adds resiliency. On the other hand - more monitors means more likelihood that one of them will break, when that happens there will be a brief interruption to some (not only management) operations. If you decide to reduce the number of MONs then that is a PITA as it means recreating for example libvirt domains (mon addresses are pretty much hardcoded in there). Just keep at at 3 unless you have more than 3 datacenters.
