That's true and it boils down to what's acceptable in your team (or just you). I worked in some places where coverage was the only metric and in places where every single function had to have all cases covered, and testing took longer than writing the code. As for me, I tend to write reasonable tests and cover several cases that guard the intended behavior of each function (if someone decides the function should behave differently in the future, a test should fail). One emerging pattern is that sometimes during testing I realize I need to refactor something, which might have been lost on me if I skimmed on tests. It's both a sanity check and a guardrail for future readers.
