Might as well start with a solid foundation from the start though. The extra work is minimal so there isn't much of a time cost to it. I wouldn't call it overengineering, it's just a different way to write code, and the way many naturally default to without really thinking about it.
Maybe it's just me being bad at programming, but I used to do the right-hand style of programming and usually ended with wrong abstractions that were holding back development as requirements changed.
