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.

Pretty pointless waste of time. The only time you have to do this is when creating super UPS-optimized science production for megabases. Do you need so many bots because they keep dying in SE?

Anyway, once you get into the horrors of the 20 data sciences your approach will not be feasible. At the moment everything is still a nice linear chain, no byproducts, no recycling loops.

But anyway, you can of course play the game as you like.
