Implementing My Own Custom Error Handler

Background

I have joined a new company recently and was tasked with building a Task Management System ( for clients and internal Employees ). So in short this software is going to be re-iterated again and again for improvement after we launch its first MVP ( targeted 2 months at max ).

Scenario

I have come across a use case where I want to handle errors using a custom error handler, its a function to which I pass any error thrown my APIs and based on error type ( error code a reference from prisma docs https://www.prisma.io/docs/orm/reference/error-reference) it returns a specific structured error response that can be useful for frontend devs and also help debug better.

Question

Is going this far for handling many errors worth it, i was recently listing to Alex for the Code Quality Course and what i understood its worth it as it would help me and my juniors debug better while in production and local development as well.
