But from what I could tell by (carefully) tilting the bike while sitting on the ground, it looked overfilled... is this a big no no?

A poll here has shown that there is no ill effects from over filling to the point of barely seeing the oil level in the window when setting on the side stand.
I for one, will NEVER hold my bike vertical while checking the oil. I have proved that is a good way ruin the looks of a nice bike,.....if not getting hurt at the same time.
I always run the oil level lever between the lines w/ the bike on the side stand. I know several others that do the same w/o ever a problem.
If however you are burning oil, I would think that overfilling would not help that situation
