If I have multiple cards suspended, and their time counters would be removed at the same upkeep (let us just say I suspended 3 Restore the Balances, because I was being an idiot), do their final time counters get removed simultaneously, or does one copy have their respective time counter removed, go onto the stack, resolve, then do the same thing two more times?

Mostly the latter. Each card puts an instance of the "Remove a time counter from me" ability onto the stack. When the topmost ability resolves and you remove the last time counter from the corresponding card, the card puts a "cast me now" ability onto the stack, on top of the other two "remove a time counter" abilities that are still waiting. When the "cast me now" ability resolves, you cast the card (which puts it on the stack on top of the other two abilities that are still waiting). Once the spell has resolved, the game moves on to the next "remove a counter" ability, which causes you to cast the second card, and finally the game reaches the last "remove a counter" ability and you cast the third card.
