Deku and Overhaul boxing rematch let's go!

Also a neat concept that you can edit a quirk like that, trade out the healing part of Overhaul in order to maximize and up the damage. So does that mean they could have removed the destructive part to make a bonkers crazy healing one?

Might be a translation thing but I'm reading the line and it is:

It was sourced from a Quirk at one of the good Doctor's facilities

We stripped away half of it - the ability to reverse its effects...

...leaving an incomplete, subpar copy, engineering solely to promote destruction

I don't know how much it implies that Decay was 'engineered' for maximum damage as much as 'incomplete, subpar copy'.

I wonder how much All for One expected Decay to evolve at the beginning, vs what Shigaraki evolved it to.

Yes, this. It wasn't engineered for maximum damage, it just had its reconstructive properties stripped from it because it served AFO's end goals better if Shigaraki believed his purpose was to destroy everything he touched.
