The trade off here assumes a “barely working prototype” is undesirable and only the bug free end result is the goal. Most projects I’ve worked on though, especially in their first few 100k lines of code didn’t really know exactly what problem are they trying to solve. Having something that kinda works in front if stakeholders / customers has been invaluable in actually getting the feedback and not wasting dev cycles on features nobody actually wanted. Though granted “going back and doing things properly” has been as hard to achieve as “have complete requirements upfront”, so what do I know :-D
