Just a wee bit of over kill. But too much is prob. not a bad thing. Some of
the connections you mention serve the same function that others are serving;
for example the connection from the battery to coil bracket is a chassis
connection. Having another chassis connection is not bad, but may be
unnecessary.

Note- the connection to the coil bracket is not meant to provide the coil with
a ground, it's inner workings are isolated from chassis/ ground 

It might to diagram the system on paper, it might shed some light on things.
