you sometimes need overlays, like when you want to show two perspectives colliding simultanuosly or other advanced stuff, but when you get good at it you’ll do it in one take because it will take too much time to set things up and it might come out looking more formal and professional in a sense but not natural.
my recommendation is to master your techniques and use them in a smart way even if its only for your own visualisation and understanding of the geometry.
if you spend too much time on sketching/overlaying you got a problem as a designer imo. designers should concentrate on design and the most efficient way to arrive at a concept.
