Valid points, but it doesn't make DRY overrated. Just abused / taken too far if one is overeager. That's true of any principle if you're being dogmatic about it

Valid points, but it doesn't make DRY overrated. Just abused / taken too far if one is overeager. That's true of any principle if you're being dogmatic about it and start treating it as a goal in and of itself (rather than as means towards a goal).
This, to me, fits the typical "X considered harmful" (headline) / "X considered harmful when done badly" (actual content) template.
