Its not misguided.
Supermassive, youre building it right.

your project will be kosher when its done
most the guys on here think they can strap on a turbo kit for $4000 and be done
youre smart enough to see the big picture, dont give everyone on this forum that credit

early boost= smaller turbo, and that seems to be the trend to try and make power down below 4500 rpms, which makes no sense to me at all
without fuel upgrades, 9psi is the max, no matter whose kit you buy so its all boost curve vs TQ curve choice, buyers

past 10psi, it depends what youre building, and your budget

can the motor run 15 psi?

yup

supermassive is an exception, I wouldnt suggest you emulate him unless you have his experience set, budget and expectations. Not everyone is ok doing what he is doing, so watch in awe, but realize what he is doing isnt gonna be for everybody

I put him in with crawford, fully executed build potential is there. not for average joe's budget tho
for most folk a 6 psi kit is great
for some who want and know how to handle the power overage, they can get to that 9psi spot

it will be a very small percentage of folks who exceed the fiscal barriers presented past 9psi
