I would argue from a productivity perspective: yes. If you were like me, you would get bogged down "in the weeds" fixing every single little bug encountered, no matter the time investment or how trivial, and wouldn't ship as much. It's productivity self-bikeshedding / developer "gold plating" in a way that I'm probably avoiding "real" work. By being semi strategically-lazy, it's possible to get more done.

So based on personal style, it's possible to get better by walking a middle path of not too crappy and not over-crafted.

(The real work is the stuff that needs doing or somehow seems "most important.")
