Obviously! "level up" does not imply you used the wrong thing on purpose and you're switching to another solution that's better in every way, as you seem to have read it.

I’ve met more people who have used the wrong tool for the job than people who are pragmatic and knowledgeable about WHY to use certain tech.
Many people use the wrong tool. I don't disagree with that, but also I think you misinterpreted "level up". If they thought the other tool was unqualified better, they would have used it from the start. The reason to ask about the "right time" is because they already know different situations need different tools.
