Putting one on each screw creates a situation where if one connection goes
bad, then you lose all your downstream current.


I think the regulations restrict the number of "devices" in a box, but
I don't know if wire nuts are considered to be a "device".


You are talking about number of conductors. No?
Wire nuts don't count. It is based on the volume of the box.
