I don't believe there is a such thing as too many or too few personas. Each project has it's own unique requirements. My first suggestion is to be thorough in your analysis of each role. The system needs to meet everyone's needs.
If you believe you can effectively use only 3 personas then start building your argument for it. Do a cost analysis and in detail explain how 3 personas can be just as effective as 15. If they are not willing to go down to 3, try a compromise with 5 or 7. Just keep working from there until you reach an effective but most of all efficient number of personas. Also, be open to using all 15 personas, it can actually be beneficial and may help you create a great product instead of a good product. I hope this helps.
