I'm not sure about using 3 different shore sockets as I don't see how you would know whether they were all on the same phase or on separate phases.
The idea (for normal boats, which don’t discharge their washing-up water through a riot cannon) is that each input supplies a completely separate subset of on board equipment which is not interconnected. So it doesn’t matter if the inputs are on the same phase or different ones. Quite commonly one input runs air conditioning and another runs everything else. I don’t think it would be usual to supply sockets from more than one input, which meets the “touching distance” rule you mention if they do happen to be on different phases sometimes.
