The procedure for enabling three-finger middle click seems to vary between using the synaptics driver or libinput for the touchpad. The instructions posted above using synclient work with the synaptics driver but when I switched to libinput I adding Option "ClickMethod" "clickfinger" to my touchpad section in xorg.conf seemed to do the trick.

Can you please give step-by-step instructions on how to do this? Thanks for the help!
at least with 9343 version, the synaptics driver has better experience for the touchpad compared to libinput one. The libinput one has problems starting to scroll. When you start a two-finger scroll, you have to drag quite a distance for the drag to start, slow/fine grained scrolling is very hard to do, as it is not really predictable when scrolling starts, and if it does at what speed. That experience is much better with synaptics driver.
Hopefully current libinput driver has better behavior in this regard.

for what it's worth: debain testing + xps 13 2016: dumping three fingers on the touchpad gives me a middle click...
no special setup was necessary.
