I would say no, because most are obsessed with thier sinful addictions and, sports, TV, music, etc, than the word and obeying it, but there has to be a healthy balance here.
You first and formost must be grounded in the word, and have a true saving faith, please see my many posts which explains repentance and faith well.
God must be first, and His word must be in our heart and thoughts, as we hide His truth there, we must flee from all immorality and worldliness, and be ready to give an answer to the hope that lies within us.
Its not wrong to enjoy certian activities such as working out to keep fit, walking and hiking, camping in the great outdoors etc, but when these activities become your main focus, where you spend all your free time doing these things, and neglect the word, then you are in great idolitry.
Most in the professing churches today have no truth what so ever! They think by saying a prayer, apoligizing to God they sinned, and then accept the package deal that Jesus is now thier substitute, and they are free and clear, to just believe without any repentance, obedience, and sacrifice, then they are deceived!
So I dont think one can be too hot for God, as I said, most are dead to God, and alive to thier flesh, sin, addictions and worldly past times at the expense of truth.
Most have never repented, and are still defiled, and have no clue what real heart purity and faith are.
We are commanded to hunger and thirst for righteousness or doing what is right, but most hunger and thirst for the things of this world, where thier obsession isnt for truth and heart purity,because some false teacher told them they were born a poor helpless sinner, unable to stop sinning in repentance to receive the mercy of God!
So they remain in bondage to porn, lust, worldly attractions, alcohol, smoking etc... But told they are saved and going to heaven!
I guess if you can say hungering and thirsting for righteousness is obsessive, then I would say you cannot become to obsessed with God and His truth, especially defending and contending for it.
Obsessed:
Preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone) continually.
Jos 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
I believe there is a healthy obsession, or passion for God, and an unhealthy obsession such as obsessed with immorality and the lust of the world!
