Yes, like every new paradigm I think people tend to go overboard.

Last example is the discussion about OOP vs FP, when most languages used 
in such discussions are actually multi-paradigm, even if they are
functional first vs object first.

Regarding OO, it is interesting to see how after all those years we are
finally getting to the interfaces/traits usage coupled with generics, 
with little inheritance. Ideally of course, many people still haven't 
got to it.
