I have seen that argument online, but the usual response is that overworking only applies to working more than 40 hours a week. (Not my opinion, I am just reporting on it.)
Somehow 40 just happens to be the optimal value, regardless of the profession and the century. More is worse because you get tired, burned out, and sleep deprived. But less is also worse because you get less work experience and… something else, I don’t remember what.
