I think that time put into thinking about Strategy is time well spent. I think it even makes sense to come up with that single "winning" strategy....so that your team can think about all the possibilities and point combinations.
BUT...you can not forget that there are a number of variables that you might be faced with....and so it is very valuable to consider as many "What-if" scenarios as you can fit in your brain and stomach.
"What if my partner is a "clone" of me...
"What if my partner is FAST and a master ball harvester...
What if my partner is dead.
What if one of my own mechanisms is dead.
"What if both of our opponents are GOAL CONTROLLERS such that they actually have a chance of controlling all 3 goals!
What if, what if, what if......and what would we do in all the above scenarios. You would be building a playbook of sorts....of plays and tactics.
I can't wait for that first match!
