Most over engineering is career driven development. You may laugh at the people who unnecessarily use loads of microservices, specialized tools and libraries, exotic cloud solutions etc. But the architects and senior developers who do this stuff now have great high paying jobs. If you choose the simple cheap solution the client might love you (realistically they wont know the difference) but you wont be able to get those high paying jobs. Ask me how I know.
