The basic truth about "high" B6 is that--

the levels that appear on lab reports were not originally done on people taking supplements. Lab ranges are only a statistical sample of what to expect. They are not cast in stone, and do not reflect many things. For example, there are lab studies showing Autistic patients with higher than ave B6 readings when NO vitamins are taken. (however maybe fortified foods contributed, but no one knows).

So modest elevations in serum B6 do not reflect much unless really really high or very very low... Like magnesium and other nutrients serum labs can be misinterpreted or given weight when they shouldn't.

It takes really high B6 to cause any neurological symptoms.

And yes, a multivit may be enough for you and most people.
