Is there any problem with simply filling until overflow? Did the engineers make the fill hole too high? or is it completely fine to fill until overflow?

Yes, filling it until it overflows will most likely allow gear oil to leak out the front input shaft bearing of the trans where it will destroy the clutch. The fill spec exists for a very good reason.
