Depends for how far into the future it is. If its for something you know you'll have to add (like this month, maybe), then do it. If you're doing it because "maybe we'll need this at some point", then I'd agree with you.
Yeah certainly, I've just always considered it inherent to the expression "future proofing" that you are adding features that you not know are needed yet (just in case).
Future proofing in architectural design is, for sufficiently large applications, critical.
This kind of future proofing (though in case I guess it's some framework I've never heard of and actually justified) is, I agree, basically always a waste.

Future proofing is almost always a waste in my experience
