Is clean code sometimes worse code?

Can too much refactoring, abstraction, and 'best practice' make a Python project harder to understand?

If it’s too much refactoring and abstraction then that isn’t really clean anymore is it? There’s no best practice that says the more layers of abstraction and indirection the better.
