Is this hover effect too over the top?

looks ok to me, but I don't think the text gradient is visible enought to do anything and you should avoid overusing the gradient anyway, it reduces the effect if you do

would you argue that hover effect is overdoing it? it's kind of the theme colour

I know sites that use the theme colour for important stuff, hover, focus mmm ok should I just use the opposite of B&W

you could have at least use a different color for each... with a fade transition

the border is a bit too ... disconnected and boring. needs something more. you've cooked up a simple and great sandwich, but it's just missing that sprinkle of something... even just transitioning from 0 to 4px tall would be something interesting to look at or a fade have a bit of fun with it not the eye-burning pink/magenta background, but something

I think this probably goes against some sort of a11y, though I don't know what, lol.

it goes against common sense and decency... but one could call it an artistic statement or something maybe flashing media ?

there is the risk it flashes at 3hz, and that is enough
