What is the consequence of overpitch in Belgian yeast ?

Over Pitch is a problem ?
I used 2 packets of Fermoale AEB Bel Abbey dry yeast in 3,5 gl Belgian Pale Ale

Not at that rate.
Several of us have pitched the cooled wort onto the trub of a previous brew as a way to reuse the yeast.

It's chain brewing, you bottle the last batch while making the next batch. That way you're not idle during mash & boil wait times.

Agree - you really have to do a lot to over pitch, using 10x the recommended amount of yeast.

Even then the primary issue is a loss of flavour from fermentation.

I don't think so. I technically overpitch every brew (2x CML yeast pack) and have never failed to get the desired / expected welcome flavours from the yeasts. I do this because I am usually combining yeasts to get a mix of desired characteristics. I say technically overpitch because some yeast calculators such as the one in Brewfather say this isn't an overpitch.

OK ..you make 2 packets of yeast for how many gallons ?
