Definitely! I'm the imposter that imposter syndrome was defined around ;)

Oh, that's an interesting twist. Move the focus away from craftmanship of the present-day to future-proofing. It may be more ugly but if I can fix/extend it in 12 months without missing a beat then my job is better done.

I'm 31 and that's how I've spent a lot of time recently. Especially when not working flat-out on a project to meet a deadline. Give me one of those and I'm happy: head down, pounding it out.
