I do not think avoid other-optimizing is one of Eliezer’s more helpful memes. In many ways it is a pernicious meme, as it causes people to flinch away from useful other-optimizing.
I support Eliezer’s warning about other-optimizing but certainly wouldn’t say it is a warning that applies to your post here on ergonomics.
