Running all 3 packs is fine.

However, on hot days, sooner or later pack #2 may trip, as it is getting hot from waste heat from pack #1, which is below it. So most of the maint ground staff in the Mid-East will not run pack #2 on the ground for long periods of time, to prevent it from tripping due to overheat.
