As Sander said, the answer will be 'it depends'. It won't be "overkill" but it may not be worth the extra depending on what bottlenecks you have and what it takes to overcome them. Renders are still slow on mine, but I don't know if they are slower or faster than someone else's configuration. I hope that I can overcome my bottlenecks with a larger, faster GPU that has more memory. It really depends on what you are doing and how you configure the box. I have an NVMe drive that gives me great speed for loading files, but it does not matter if I am rendering particles.
If you have a small composition that you want to compare, post it and I will test it and tell you the render time.
