Comment (by superpoincare):

 Don't think it's an overkill. preconnecting to fonts.gstatic.com over
 https can save a lot of time.

 Ilya Grigorik recommends it for Google Fonts while obviously knowing about
 costs:

 Second, the css header already has instruction to preconnect. So the
 browser will preconnect anyway whether or not fonts cached. It's just that
 it's a bit late and preconnect in html is much better.
