'Over-architected' and 'over-optimized' are the terms I prefer. Whatever term(s) is(are) used, criticism should emphasize 'non-pragmatically-built', instead of emphasizing 'startups don't need any design, engineering, or optimization, whatsoever'.

That does seem like a better term for it. Or at least an equal term for it :)
