the US CPL needs 300nm with 3 stops which almost nobody will do in one day unless deliberately trying to create logbook entries
Why not? That’s a flight with two fuel (or defuel 
) stops. I’ve done that a few times and one of them (incidentally flown in Europe!) was my qualifying flight for the CPL, the others where just shy of the requirement that one of the legs must be more than 250NM in a straight distance from the starting point.

with an overnight in EDDM would make a legitimate logbook entry as a single line with those 3 airports.
I very much doubt that. What are you going to put into the date field ?
Most US CPL candidates do that flight deliberately though. Typically as a round-robin, e.g. KSMO – KRHV – KVIS – KSMO

No idea, but one US ATP guy told me that is / used to be normal.

Sure, because most CPL candidates don’t fly GA with a purpose 
(that statement is a lot less true in the US)
