Each of their plans says infinitely less about the person who made it than the person it was made to trick.

Marinette knew that Chat is smart, and that if he suspected her of being Ladybug (which he did!) he'd need a lot convincing otherwise. Marinette knew that she needed to go all in and give undeniable proof that she could not be Ladybug, and so her plan needed to be so complicated — she didn't overcomplicate it for her sake, she overcomplicated for his. It just so happens that she has exactly the skill set to overcomplicate in the perfect way.

Likewise, Adrien's plan may seem simple, but he knew he didn't need a more complicated plan! Ladybug is incredibly trusting of him, and doesn't believe he'd lie to her — which, mostly, is true. He knew that her mind is torn 100 directions at once, and that she can't give too much energy to pursuing any one direction for too long, and that if he pushes it too hard she's more likely to think that something is out of the ordinary. And yeah, he's not exactly known for his complicated plans, which is probably a good thing, in this case.
