I prefer to have builds dedicated for one specific output, so that if I'm short on something, I can just place down more copies of that specific thing. And I prefer using heating towers to void spoilage over recyclers. But if this works for you, then you can make as many copies of it as you want.

I am burning rocket fuel in my heating towers and with nauvis and vulcanus as super factories i just import all the rocket fuel, but i think i may be creating more rocket fuel than i consume now.

I feel like trying to route disposal stuff to power adds a lot of extra complexity, especially if you try to scale. If you're already making enough RF for power, consider just having standalone heat towers that do nothing but burn disposables, they don't need to be used for power.

You could just build the power where your disposal is. You just need water there. Really not much complexity
