short: yes

Long: abstraction for the sake of patterns is a waste when it's not needed. I knew someone who abstracted everything and basically made a soup of interfaces for a very simple implementation, the abstraction was not used in a beneficial way, and caused way more headaches just trying to troubleshoot.

the KISS ideology is good, but I like the "Keep it as simple as possible"; if you know multiple things will inherit or implement code, build for that. if not, keep the code as direct and simple as possible, you can always refactor later.
