\once \override will affect the entire timestep.  \tweak is your friend:

%%%%
\version "2.21.80"
{
  \time 3/4
  \tweak text
    #(tuplet-number::append-note-wrapper
      tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text
      #{ 8 #})
  \tuplet 7/6 {
    \tuplet 3/2 4 { e8[ f e] f8[ e f] }
    << f4 { s16 s16 s8 } >>
    \tuplet 3/2 { e8 16 }
  }
}
%%%%

Also shown is using \tuplet as an alternative to \times.
