I'm going to be gluing up the joints shown in the foreground of this
drawing:

... the ones with three dowels per joint.
Here's what the assemblies will look like:

The wood surfaces are edge grain and end grain. Is there any need, any
point, any benefit to applying glue to those surfaces? Or should I just
apply the glue to the dowels and holes?

Use glue.
While not the strongest bond with glue in that situation, every little
bit adds to overall joint strength.
