As a string player I automatically play anything with 3 strokes
tremolo, and automatically assume that anything with fewer is NOT
tremolo but is measured. There is a narrow range of tempos and note
values in which a measured tremolo is indistiguishable from an
unmeasured tremolo. Tchaikovsky's notated deccelerando leading into
the last hymn statement in the "1812 Overture" is a masterful use of
notation to achieve exactly what he wanted.

If there's many notes shorter than a quaver, three slashed can start to
be very cluttered. In those situations, I will reduce to two slashes,
but have a 'trem.' instruction at the start of the passage.
