With the first sentence you showed, I think the commas were definitely too much. With the other two, I'm not sure they are too much or they just seem out of place.
Then again, I have always been one that hates having too many commas. It isn't because I think they are wrong. It's just that too may pauses in a sentence mean the sentence could be organized a bit better.
That's also probably a fault of mine since I am a technical writer, and the goal of journal and research papers is to use as few words as possible to say as much as possible.
