It's still not a bad system if you have to support and provide bugfixes for multiple versions of software. However, if you only support the latest version and only create bug fixes and features based on the latest release or main branch, then git-flow is way overkill.

It's an atrocious, pointlessly complicated system resulting in convoluted project histories prone to confusion. [Trunk-based development with sensible tags of releases & hotfixes][oneflow] achieves the same thing without the junk complexity. Git flow isn't overkill, it's just ill-conceived.
