If things start too early, people will forget by next year, and that's when they need to remember. We still have several months of this year to deal with, so there may be an opinion that an official impeachment inquiry would be better early next year. And they might be right about that.
We're very impatient to have Trump go down, but there's no way to do that, in reality, until November of next year, frankly.
Timing is very important. Besides, Trump is likely to do more stupid things that will help him lose the election.
