You can never have too many bolt snaps. I always carry several spares just in case I lose one or someone else in the group needs one. "Always be prepared." When you don't have a spare is when you will need it the most.
I recently replaced my brass snaps with stainless.
The springs corroded, and the triggers weren't functioning properly.
I bought a bunch from Lowe's, of all places.
Not bad, about $5 a piece, and they are 316 stainless.
That was a good point about barracuda and shiny objects.
None up here, but I'll keep it in mind in FL.
I can't really answer regarding the failure point,
but I have thought the same thing about the two hooks.
It looks like filing them off would work,
but questionable as to the structural integrity.

Ditto on the "you can never have too many boltsnaps". A quick headcount reveals 8 on my single tank rig, counting the one I added to an SMB. 10 if I carry a second SMB and a reel.
1 x primary regulator hose
1 x SPG
2 x HID lighthead
2 x backup lights
1 x strobe for nightdives
1 x orange SMB
1 x yellow SMB
1 x added to reel to replace brass boltsnap
I reckon it saves me a good 2lb of lead off my belt
