It’s not stupid to shut off overproduction from flooding the grid just as it’s not stupid to shut off your tap when the bathtub is full. What is stupid is building so much solar that there is no where for the energy to go during peak production hours. Everybody is gung ho to put cheap panels on their roof but no one is footing the bill for adding storage without which all that power production just goes to waste.

That's not stupid at all, it's unavoidable if you want to still have enough energy when you don't have peak production. Given how cheap solar is getting, it may even be more economical. And you always have the option to add storage later, when it becomes more economical (which it isn't yet).
