I mean, I have to say I've hastened my own demise (in program terms) by over-engineering something that should be simple. Sometimes adding protective guardrails actually causes errors when something changes.

Which are what guardrails are for. When something change, you don't know the impact the change will have.

By having guardrails, you make sure to limit/eliminate potential critical issues.
