They tried to do this in WW2 with the Tiger which was overengineered and they lost badly to the T34 simply because the latter was more reliable, simpler to use and maintain, more robust and mass produced in huge numbers.
This strategy never works against a peer enemy. Sure you may be able to roll over some insurgents with AK47s and flip flops with your high tech hardware, but that is not reflective of the performance in a real conflict.
Even now the majority of the heavy lifting in Ukraine on the Ukrainian side is done by old but reliable Soviet equipment, not by the hodge podge of western crap that they got which breaks down too easy and needs a ton of support.
