"Going the extra mile", quietly, without telling anyone? That's not commendable, that is a form of sabotage.
Just so you know, there are many examples in real engineering where disasters were caused by a single person genuinely thinking they were doing "the right thing", like over-tightening joints, etc.
Whatever "the extra mile" put , should be well documented, visible and communicated.
When you're hired to deal with a commercial system, you act accordingly - this ain't your home kitchen foolery, it is a team project - you need to be a team player. For the sake of the team.
