This goes for any type of product development. Speed is a requirement for innovation (you need to try lots of things to see what sticks, and if you can only try things slowly then not many things will be tried), and good tooling is a requirement for speed. Best, of course, is if you find ways to use off-the-shelf tooling (maybe with some exaltation) so you can spend more time on the thing you're supposed to be doing. Either way, you should have a toolmaker in the team.
