I know it is a matter of taste so I'm looking for a middle of the road guide.I plan to cook the ribs for 3.5 hours over boiling water with rack between the pan of  water and ribs. Will a handful of chips in  foil poked with a fork every hour work  without over powering the meat?

Well as you said it all comes down to taste, a little foilpak  every hour shouldn't be a problem.  But thats BBQ each cook is a learning experience. Try  that  then see how you like  it, then next cook adjust it if you want it smokier  or less. Have fun! and dont be afraid to make mistakes  and learn. and grow from them  also crack open a beer or 2   and enjoy the  time

I would just put a chunk of wood on top of a burner.

A good handful in foil or a full smoker box should give you smoke for 20-30 minutes in my experience. If you just add more when the smoke stops you should get a good smoke flavour in those ribs. Are they side or back?
