What's the proper way to establish a triaxial connection with carabiners?

I love free climbing but have never climbed with ropes. While reading through this question, I realized I would never have thought of these scenarios, but due to the answers on that post, the physics in question makes sense. But this left me with a question:

How would one achieve a triaxial connection if loading a carabiner in this way is dangerous?

You could use a triple butterfly knot, some call them alpine butterfly loop knots or simply multi-loop knots. They can be tied with single loops, double loops, and triple loops. No collection/rigging plate needed and simple to tie.

If you want one point and multiple things to connect to it, then what you do is create a master point with rope or cordellete and attach your carabiners to it.

Usually the master point is a a overhand knot on a bight and the carabiners attach to the loop.

That looks like this,

In the other situation mentioned in the linked question where the sling goes around the tree, one would use a longer sling to go around the tree and then hook a carabiner to just one loop.
