So this sounds like a completely normal construction project.

I’ve never regretted going ‘too far’ with project scope, or stretching to do something on the edge of affordability at the time. I have regretted not going far enough and having to live with a limitation I could have avoided and then spending much more to re-do it later.

It’s always hard to make the correct call - so good luck!
