Nah. That's actually one of the big stated reasons why they don't plan on doing poly relationships any time soon. The most resource-friendly way to implement it would be to go the way of the various free love mods and just do away with the relationship checks for some/all of the characters, which produces exactly the scenario you're talking about.

To actually implement a poly romance properly, in which the characters interacted with each other as well as the protagonist, would require a lot more variable processing. You'd need to check relationship scores with respect to one another, relationship stages with respect to one another, etc. It'd also eat up a considerable amount of the characters' dialogue budget, since there would have to be mono-romance scenes and poly-romance scenes and no romance scenes for each character. The juggling act eats up even more resources if you want to make all or most LIs potentially poly, rather than just saying "you can be in a triad with these two characters only".

It'd be easier if they had a pair of characters who were established as a couple and had to be recruited and romanced together, no exceptions, but given the amount of fan backlash that would (provably, because they've done matched set characters before) generate, they're unlikely to take that route.
