Depends on what you want.....bioload (fish) vs. filtration.
Protein skimmers, LR, LS, Refugiums, trickle filters, etc.....are all options for filtration.
What type of setup do you want?
Fish only? Reef? FOWLR?

The direct answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have too much filtration. But with anywhere near normal equipment, it is almost impossible to do.

I guess we always want more LOL. My 55g has the big tetra tech and i think that is too much. 20g for macro algae culture, 10g fresh, and 62QT tub on the porch have no filtration. All tanks are clear. 10g has 30 guppies, 55g a tang, 5 damsels, 5 turbo, 2 crabs, buncha hermits, a bahama star and green brittle star, 20g macro algae has macro algae, and the tub is just starting with macro algae i collected from a bay.
To me what is important is that the water is clear and the tank is stable and balanced.

We have a really heavy bio-load in our tank, so we want to give it the most support that we can
