Apart from lighting controls the overhead panel isn't required much
during flight and only necessary for pre-flight and engine start. It
of course requires monitoring with fuel systems being configured for
tank/engine when required but apart from that no real input from the
pilot. Most of the work is via the MCP on the glareshield and the FMC

No one said it was required during flight.

The point of contention is how many switches and buttons are present
and have to be looked at to find a particular one, not what they do.
