I am considering having the keel sandblasted and barrier coated before I get her bottom painted. Is this overkill ?

The sandblasting is maybe a bit more than you need to do - but it would be faster and certainly easier than doing the job yourself. Barrier coat is a very good idea with any keel, but particularly with an iron keeel in salt water.
Sounds like you have a good handle on things. Good luck and hope all goes smoothly !
