I assumed that option 3 was a "Fermi estimation", I. E. "single handed number of servers"

I'm used to 3 tier legacy apps (web / app / dB) but I assumed that would fit into number 3 the best, I could be wrong...

Maybe it's "on the order of a single server", or conveys that the servers are "statically" arranged and/or manually managed rather than automatically (auto scaling, service discovery)?

Yeah, that's a better way to put it. #3 is a static arrangement of a small number of servers.
