I'm not a doctor, but my doctor told me when I asked that excess Vitamin D passes through your body harmlessly, so there's basically no reason not to supplement if you're worried you aren't getting enough.

While any level someone might usually consider supplementing (such as 2000-10000IU daily) should be safe, Vitamin D toxicity is a real thing at higher levels of intake. See: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-vitamin-d-is-t...
According to the comment thread involving devaboone Vitamin D toxicity isn't inherently due to the Vitamin D, but the impact that it has on blood calcium levels.
I don't think this is true and if you a tendency to form calcifications an excess of vitamin D might be a bad idea.
