would i really need to fuse all of the output wires in a setup like https://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp #5? or would just the one fuse from the 12v source be sufficient?

Each device you run off that relay should be fused, just like the diagram shows.

Protect your gear & vehicle. Fuses are cheeeeeeeep insurance, man. Consider this ... suppose you are running a few fans, like the diagram shows. One fan fails - dead short. If the only fuse in place is the one supplying the relay on the 87 leg, then EVERTHING else dies too - all the other fans. Now your amp overheats & it starts to act up & eventually dies as well ... maybe even sets your car on fire! All because a silly fuse was not put in place.
