better than staying stuck for sure. We are so conscious of "wasting time" and being stuck feels like "wasting time" so the temptation is to solve the problem with mediocre output, because it's better than the crime of time wasting.

I'm still worried, though, that spending some time being stuck is somewhat important.

I have the same temptation.  I think it comes from feeling like, 

I'm stuck now; getting something decent out, even if tonally boring, is better than staying stuck

Which may be true, in the moment.  But what does it do to us when we consistently turn to this crutch?  It likely short circuits our own capacity to think deeply, or at the very least to express ourselves with precision and depth.
