I absolutely agree. Overengineering is generally a bad idea because 
you're using a complex solution to solve a simple problem, which leads 
to unexpected breakage.

The file solution is perfectly fine, and file locks are used by really 
important software (i.e package managers and such) because its 
simplicity makes it almost never fail.

So yeah, go for it!
