Oracle - Too many indexes

Indexes are created on database tables for effective joins. But what if too many indexes are created?

Two reasons why too many indexes are bad -

1) While doing upserts/inserts, the indexes will need to be modified so performance gets impacted.
2) Indexes need extra space to be stored physically, so more indexes means more space.
