The issue with LLM guarding isn't that it's "excessive" in outputting edge case handling, it's that the result often ends up just suppressing an error that actually indicates there is a bug or that should be handled elsewhere in a different way.
While I've definitely experienced it I don't think this is as much of a problem anymore. It's very easy to add an instruction to projects where you want every error to lead to a top-level throw rather than be handled. I also find that when it does try to mitigate it does so gracefully with a path you would actually make if you had infinite time, but your instinct tells you it's overkill.
