If I had just 2 fat nodes could I connect the HCAs directly to each

Yes. With 3 nodes it might be cheaper having 2 HCA per node, 6 cables,
than the switch solution.
with 3 nodes, each with a two ports,
wouldn't you need just 3 cables?
Yes, I forgot to divide by 2!
Some HCA have 2 ports, so they would be indicated for a 3 node
switchless cluster.
