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.

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.
