There’s always a balance to be struck when avoiding premature consolidation of repeated code. We all face the same issue as osigurdson at some point and the productive responses fall in a range.

If you have some idea of what future changes may be seen, it is fine to design for that. However, it is impossible to design a codebase to handle any change. Realistically, just doing the absolute bare minimum is probably the best defence in that situation.
