It is eternal life.

Does Scripture actually say that eating from that Tree once grants eternal life? Or can it be that eating from that Tree extends/renews life?

It's merely described as the Tree of Life. It's properties are actually not described.

Living forever is one of its properties. All of the things are types. God designed them to help us understand spiritual things that are not seen. Death and resurrection were part of God’s plan from the beginning so Adam was restricted from the tree of life for a while. I don’t know if Adam ever ate from the tree of life, it doesn’t say. He didn’t live forever.
Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
The tree of life is like a shadow, the image of Christ. It is one of many pictures of Christ scattered through scripture, each giving us a different perspective of Christ. If you put them all together you will have a pretty good 3D picture of him.
