As long as you have a sufficiently beefy power adapter, you should be able to open 6 valves at the same time. Yes, 3A is plenty for 6 to 8 simultaneous valves.

I am not familiar with the “modular contactor” that you linked to. Usually to control a pump the common way is to use a pump start relay, which many manufacturers sell.
