It’s all relative. It’s certainly not too big in any absolute terms. We used bigger MBPs as recently as 3 years ago, and many of the previous models like the 17” were much larger and heavier. (Let’s not even get into the PowerBooks, some of which were almost comically thick and heavy). The question of whether it’s too big for you personally is something that only you can answer, but I will say that it will feel very large and heavy if you are used to something like a one-port MacBook, but I also think you can get used to it pretty quickly.
