I think it depends on how literally you take Baroness Jones' call.
I haven't looked into the details of her speech, but it does sound like she was perfectly serious and as such I agree it's rather OTT.
However, I do also agree with many who've seen it just as a means to make a point: as with the Yorkshire Ripper case decades before, the immediate response to the Sarah Everard case has been an effective curfew on women by advising them to stay at home, rather than proactive action to make the streets safer. However well intentioned, it comes across as victim-blaming, and an inability/unwillingness to deal with the problem properly.
