Three-body recombination processes are treated numerically for a system of three identical bosons. The two-body model potentials utilized support many bound states, a major leap in complexity that produces an intricate structure of sharp nonadiabatic avoided crossings in the three-body hyperradial adiabatic potentials at short distances. This model thus displays the usual difficulties of more realistic systems. To overcome the numerical challenges associated with sharp avoided crossings, the slow variable discretization (SVD) approach is adopted in the region of small hyperradii. At larger hyperradii, where the adiabatic potentials and couplings are smooth, the traditional adiabatic method suffices. Despite the high degree of complexity, recombination into deeply bound states behaves regularly due to the dominance of one decay pathway, resulting from the strong coupling between different recombination channels. Moreover, the usual Wigner threshold law must be modified for excited incident recombination channels.
