I don't think that minmaxing is specifically good or bad. Depends on what you like as a player and what fits for your table. You can have a really heavy rp campaign and still minmax. We're currently in a campaign that has super heavy political undertone. Our party is the primary force that is used by the emperor of a nation for covert operations and high profile assasinations. We're all heavily optimized and rp is still the focus 70% of the time.
About (not) min-maxing: I kinda accidentally make the most un-minmaxed decision 😂 I haven't actually tested it on table, but it was half-elf sorcerer, and she had heritages of silver dragon and white dragon It was 1st edition of Pathfinder, and there is archetype of sorcerer that allows to combine two heritages, but if I'm not mistaken if they have identical bonuses, they're aren't stacking BUT it was pretty much description of her personality: she has a noble goals, but very easily gets angered and will not hesitate to throw hands (and spells)
I hard disagree on the min-maxing versus not discussion. Both styles of play are valid and both offer different ways to interact with a campaign. A min maxed character might be an uptight perfectionist who over time learns that its okay to lean on others for help and not place all the responsibility on themselves. A non munchkin character works just as well for those who like to improv when they fail and somehow still have an impact. It doesnt have to be either or.
