See? Not overkill. But the need for insulation and wiring does preclude the use of 2x4 stud walls.
As a side note - I have an uncle who tried to build a house using only metric back in the late 70s as a way of supporting Carter's push for the metric system. He gave up after 3 weeks.

How so?

I'd build the frame out of 2".2", fill the gaps with kingspan/celotex, DPM stapled to the outside then shiplap. Recess the electrics somewhere you won't nail or screw through at a later stage. Clad the inside with ply or T&G panels if posh.
The shed market is so competitive if you look around it isn't that much cheaper to buy a half constructed shell that'll be a piece of piss to erect and probably last 20 years with a decent bitumen roof and the occasional lick of wood treatment.

96'' divided by 16" = 6 sections.
Insulation is available in appropriate depths/widths and slots in nicely between the studs.
Romex is threaded through various holes drilled through the studs to plug and switch points.
What's not to work?

My shed is 8'x8' (based on available OSB sizing) built with 2'x4's and utilizing a "shed" roof (single slope). It has electrical hook ups and is insulated to suit my local climate. Was very easy to erect and has weathered well for almost 25 years.
