I can't imagine how delightful it is to try and get all of those synchronized.

Most interesting carb setup I ever saw was on Charlie Tabucchi's '46 Ford. Hand cast aluminum intake manifold for an early Chrysler hemi with 8(eight) one barrel carbs

Weiand made a top for 6-71/8-71 blowers that mounted 8 Strombergs. It was apparently really rare, like 10-15 examples.

It's only four carbs, like a V8, and not six carbs, like a V12 normally has, so the throttle adjustment is already a bunch easier, right?

Yeah, 33 1/3 easier. I will see if I can find a pic of that Ford with the hood open.
