pve01:~# gluster volume add-brick VMS replica 3 arbiter 1 arbiter:/arbiter1 arbiter:/arbiter2 arbiter:/arbiter3 forcevolume add-brick: success
But I don't know if this is the right thing to do.

But if I change replica 2 arbiter 1 to replica 3 arbiter 1
gluster volume add-brick VMS replica 3 arbiter 1 arbiter:/arbiter1 arbiter:/arbiter2 arbiter:/arbiter3I got thir error:

Should I maybe add the force and live with this?

Ok.I have a 3rd host with Debian 12 installed and Gluster v11. The name of the host is arbiter!
I already add this host into the pool:arbiter:~# gluster pool list
UUID                                    Hostname                State
0cbbfc27-3876-400a-ac1d-2d73e72a4bfd    gluster1.home.local     Connected  
99ed1f1e-7169-4da8-b630-a712a5b71ccd    gluster2                Connected  
4718ead7-aebd-4b8b-a401-f9e8b0acfeb1    localhost               Connected
But when I do this:pve01:~# gluster volume add-brick VMS replica 2 arbiter 1 arbiter:/arbiter1 arbiter:/arbiter2 arbiter:/arbiter3I got this error:

For arbiter configuration, replica count must be 3 and arbiter count must be 1. The 3rd brick of the replica will be the arbiter

Usage:
volume add-brick <VOLNAME> [<replica> <COUNT> [arbiter <COUNT>]] <NEW-BRICK> ... [force]
gluster vol infopve01:~# gluster vol info

Volume Name: VMS

Volume ID: e1a4f787-3f62-441e-a7ce-c0ae6b111ebf

What am I doing wrong?

Right now you have 3 "sets" of replica 2 on 2 hosts.In your case you don't need so much space for arbiters (10-15GB with 95 maxpct is enough for each "set") and you need a 3rd system or when the node that holds the data brick + arbiter brick fails (2 node scenario) - that "set" will be unavailable.
If you do have a 3rd host, I think the command would be:gluster volume add-brick VOLUME replica 2 arbiter 1 server3:/first/set/arbiter server3:/second/set/arbiter server3:/last/set/arbiter
