I am setting up a 210 gallon with 60 gal sump. Will this skimmer be overkill? I plan to slowly add sps and lps. Space in the sump won't be a concern.

Great question!
if the tank has an initial light bio-load the skimmer will be a little tricky to tune in. however if the bio-load is heavier this skimmer will work great!
