Insulation is never superfluous, but everything must be in moderation. You already have 10 cm, but it's not enough. At least 15 cm thick you need.

If you are going to insulate, you should always screed with a mesh.

If you are going to pour concrete on concrete, you need to prime the bottom layer so it does not take moisture from the top (grid in this case is not mandatory, but it is advisable to add fiber).
