How Much Is Too Much?

When you build a prototype, either for yourself or for bata customers, there's a pretty clear and limited amount of stake holders right there. Pro scale ability is irrelevant for most validation prototypes. The whole point is to build something simple that can do the job well enough. You could likely validate most ideas with your test data just heart coated into your application. So consider o an repeat to be something you will likely scrap like a test version of the real thing, a fake version of your final product. And long term technical considerations for an mvp will lead to this kind of analysis paralysis.
