hitsounds are sounds played at certain points. A musical instrument is something that you can control to make sounds at any given time. There's no problem with writing a new drum part to a song if the hitsounds represent drums. You just have to do it well.
And by the way, the last I checked there's only like 20 overmapped notes in the song. That's less than a vicho difficulty.
In regards to adding drums to a track with hitsounded objects, that's one example of overmapping which I would appreciate. However, as you said, one has to do it well--as of yet, I haven't seen it done well, so there should either be a lot of guidance provided in this regard or overmapping should be discouraged altogether. In regards to how much needless overmapping there is, I still prefer "none" to "less than."

because you change the rhythm at that point. There was silence for a reason, and you shouldn't be hitting anything on silence.
Also, pretty much what has already been mentioned--if you're going to overmap, then do it tastefully and use it to
add to the song. How is the use of nigh-silent hitsounds "leading the rhythm?" That doesn't make sense to me. You left yourself with two choices: Adding prominent hitsounds to what is overmapped or not overmapping parts where there isn't any attack in the music.
I know that I seem harsh, but I really want to get this point across. I'm not showing you disrespect by pointing out obvious flaws--I'm trying to tell you why you shouldn't contravene rules which should make this sort of thing unrankable. To paraphrase Shiirn, the mapper is disrespecting the composer by butchering their song like this:

3.Mapper makes the song better,therefore we are helping the composer
Again, this is not what you did here. The hit objects are almost silenced and do not add to the rhythm, nor do they match it. Who are you to say that adding all of that rhythm to such a calm song even makes it better? If I were to arrange this song based on the rhythms that you've added, then the feel of it would likely be scuppered. Even then, "overmapping" doesn't just mean adding something to nothing--it also means following too much at once.
All that I ask for is that everybody is held to the same standards and that, unless there's an obvious and justifiable reason for doing something that is inflected in the music, contraventions of the rules and guidelines are dealt with appropriately.
