Totally agree. Looking ahead a little during design can save a lot of time later. You will not guess always right but usually you can make a reasonable guess where things will be going.
I have had this fight with Agile absolutists. They claim you should only think about the next sprint and not design any further.

Scope context matters in hitting the Goldilocks spot in the engineering.
But given the choice of over- vs. under-engineering, overshooting a modest amount absorbs the inevitable scope creep more readily.
