I don't think your app would be considered over-designed - check their "police scanner codes" example.

Your app still uses normal buttons, and even the "tabs" are close to Apple's toggle-button-array design. Your search field is exactly like the OS standard. Compare that to the article's examples.

I would also point out that Apple is doing a lot more "overdesigning" itself these days. I think the address book in Lion or the Reminders iOS 5 app are evidence.

Agreed, I don't find it overdesigned at all, whereas I do think the example in the article is a bit overboard.
