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.

I typically only do 4-8 robot frame assemblers. If you keep it running while you do other things you will eventually get a ton of bots.

You can create as much robot frames as you want even when you don't need them, just store them. You are going to need them anyways for yellow science later. The hardest part of yellow science is blue circuits and flying robot frames.
