You don't NEED three nodes if you don't WANT redundancy (because you need a separate node to run the manager on to make the switch, or at least that's what I understood from all the documentation I found about this). Hell I would get away with zero nodes and a Nissan Patrol in Kakadu National park if it was up to me :-)[1]. Let's just cut the lawer-speak, shell we? Anyway, right now it looks like I'll pass the MySQL cluster and try to go with the "mutual-replication" trick that Yonah pointed to.
