I think this term is a little misguided. I don't think any rifle is "overkill" as they will all kill everything, some just do it more effectively than others. I use a .300wsm which many consider "overkill" but even the smallest does I have shot have had no meat wastage from damage and this is using Barnes ttsx ammo.

borrowed one last year and shot a 110# doe walking @ 60 yards -she ran 10 yards and dropped- exit hole was big as a silver dollar

I have a theory on that that I want to test one day but that's another discussion.
You're definitely subjecting yourself to more shoulder and wallet punishment than necessary with a .35 whelen shooting deer. It's a cannon
