Excessive or not is irrelevant if the restrictions shouldn't legally be there. If someone beat up a bar patron at age 23 would it be helpful to attend one meeting once a year for life just to assess that the person is in a good state of mind and doesn't seem like they'll do it again?

Probably not excessive or overly burdsome but also not warranted because now their life has a restriction on it. The analogy is purposely way less egrigious btw, as to highlight how important liberty is and how sometimes we get blinded to that when the crime/incident is more serious.
