How to get to like -2LUFS???

Is it true that if you use multiple limiters instead of 1 instance, it's more transparent? Also, can they be the same limiters or would you suggest like 3 different limiters?

I wouldn't say that was true all of the time. A second plugin is a new set of processing and potential degredation of the signal (even just going "straight thru").

That said, I do use 2 limiters sometimes.

When you guys use more than one limiter... how do you approach the timing?

One faster for initial transients, one slower and for true peak safety?

Some limiters these days do that already (dual stage).

Couldn't you get to a moderate level using a limiter, then, use something like HoRNet's LU Meter or VU MeterVU Meter to make up the difference. Melda's MLoudnessAnalyzer can set a piece of audio to a desired level, it can also offline batch process files . (Registered free version/bundle for batch offline processing feature.)
