Depending on what part of the country you're in there are a few people here. I can do them, I am in Minnesota, Gunrunnerjohn can do them he is in Pennsylvania, George or GGG can do them as well. I am sure there are other folks as well but us three are  the MTH certified repair techs that I know of

Ive done the #80 and I have a PS2 upgrade kit and I think I can get a PS2 Slave upgrade kit. Ive also done the J. For the most part Ive got enough stuff in stock to do them all with the exception of the slave kit for the Coal Turbine, OK so I actually have the slave kit for the coal turbine but its for my turbine but I should be able to get another one.

Correct no option with PS-3 diesel, I would not want to run a lashup for the same engine just to drive 2 motors.  It has been confirmed that you can't run 4 off a single board, it will overheat/load the board.  I am also not sure if the PS-32 will work.  You have to stack the boards like the PS-2 version, and the veranda has the slim body.

No, the remote would see 2 separate PS3 boards and they would have to be built into a "lashup". Thats pretty dumb.
