I am working on a large project and I also realized this. I worked really hard to not repeat myself. I tried to reuse as much as possible as not to create extra code. Then, I quickly realized the things are NOT EXACTLY the same, and the methods to handle things were similar they were not the same. So, I had to refactor a lot of other helper methods.
I agree with the approach you are describing. It would be easier to refactor later, as one would probably have a better understanding of the application in the wild.
