This is a balancing act. Spending the time later to undo all of the technical debt accumulated can take even longer.

Yeah 100%. I'm not suggesting land technical debt, it's more about the approach to solving the problem in the early stages while you're still seeking a solution-- don't get bogged down by perfectly conforming to a bunch of intermediary abstractions on your way towards the goal.
And my cynical response is that, if you demonstrate something working too quickly in certain organizations, you will be voluntold to work on a new project before it has been factored at all.
