It depends on the ROI and circumstances.
If perfectionism makes you spend a significant amount of time with no return, it is a curse. Example: polishing a slide deck for a routine presentation that will have no impact whatsoever on the outcome.
If perfectionism makes the difference between 0 value and tremendous value because your standard is so incredibly rare, it is a gift. Example: an artist crafting a work of art (e.g. Michelangelo's David). If Michelangelo's had not been an absolute perfectionist, his lefscy would have been long forgotten by now.
