There is a point of diminishing returns for sure, where multiple changes add complexity and reduce reliability and ease of maintenance. I could have gone with some racing pulleys that are even lighter. There used to be a 1.5 lbs crank pulley (~3 lbs lighter). And there are underdrive pulleys that weigh less than 0.5 lb that would give even greater effect because the little weight they have is also closer to the pivot point, but I would lose my alternator belt and would be pushing the tolerances of my engine. I have a DD, not a race car (lol).
Definitely going to start looking for a lightweight flywheel, though.
