Would my user rather have a program that works 100% in 2 weeks, or a program that works 80% in one day?

When the user needs a change made, would they prefer I spend another two weeks extending my perfect program, or throw a few LLMs at their sloppy code and have it done in a day?

You're really asking if a user would want a program that fails a fifth of the times?

In some cases it might be better to have some crap right away and more cheaply, but even you would probably not like a 20% failure rate in most of the software you use.
