Might be different if I had been hauling more than one kid or a kid plus freight.
Absolutely it is overbuilt. Before he started Workcycles, Henry Cutler was fishing 1920s and 1930s bikes out of the canals in Amsterdam. They were still fixable and useful. Left him with a different perspective.
I haven’t tried one with a small child but have done testride with small 100# adult on the front rack. The stability and ease are noteworthy. There’s a difference between “I think this might work well enough” and built for purpose.
