Why are duke, count and baron [NUMBER:AS_NEEDED] ?

This seems to be new. It used to be only aplicable for militairy positions. Now, also the messenger has it, but I do understand why: you may need more messengers.

But why should you ever need more ruling nobles?

So the thing with dukes/counts/barons is that they aren't site nobles, they're civilization nobles who have authority over a site. [NUMBER:AS_NEEDED] allows the civilization ruler to appoint more of them as the need arises.

That makes sense, since they dont have a [SITE] TOKEN.
