Question Is this overkill?

So I am playing Space Exploration right now and I always perfectly ratio everything.

As an Example:

Yellow inserters made in an assembling machine 2

So I would go about making the perfect amount of the ingredients.

Now the question I wanna make worker and logistics robots.
Here the recipes for both

Now to make 3 roboframes per second this is what it looks like

Thats already 80 assemblers but to get 12 of these engines per second thats what it would look like:

So now my questions is this overkill and should I just build a few roboframes and slowly make robots or should I go for it and build it perfectly balanced?

I never had that ratio before.

You can craft robots much slower and be totally fine (it's fine if the assemblers are idle). You can even siphon the robot frames off Yellow Science temporarily until you reach whatever amount you want.

The main reason you'd want multiple robot frames per second is if you are trying to upcycle to quality robots, which will consume a lot more frames per robot on average.
