That sounds like you're erring towards too much IMO but other people love cleaning shit. I'm a brush off dry dirt, wipe a chain with rag with cleaner on it to get the shit off the outside, then dry bit of rag, then get some lube on the rollers and wipe off the excess kinda guy, try to avoid water unless everything is mud and you don't want that mud somewhere else kinda guy. Little and often, emphasis on the little.

I tend to wash down the bike after most rides, chain dried and then lubed.
Moving forward I might look to properly put the chain through a chain cleaner a little more often and then blast it dry with electric leaf blower before lubing, just to slightly improve the chain maintenance regime.
