Should we list on more than one cloud marketplace, or is AWS enough?

Follow your customers, but the data leans toward breadth. Tackle's survey work found companies transacting on all three clouds report around 29% of revenue through marketplaces versus 3% for single cloud sellers, and most companies now co-sell with more than one provider. That said, each extra marketplace costs real engineering and operations work for entitlements, metering and private offers, so add the second one when you have actually lost a deal for not being on it. In practice most B2B SaaS starts on AWS, adds Azure the first time a Microsoft heavy or regulated enterprise asks, and adds Google Cloud last.
