If I were to even presume to be a perfectionist I would apply all that personality flaw to audio/video acquisition so I could rip through the editing phase in no time at all.
As Grinner and Wolfgang have noted, or implied, "perfection" results in a law of diminishing returns and in your case the most "diminished" return is money received vs time spent. But, you've realized this judging by your initial post and will work toward taking steps to address the lopsidedness of it all.
So, work toward finding a way to please the consumer, the client, the customer if you're going to be in business for the sake of making a living, making money, making a profit or maintaining a hobby. Or, work toward "perfection" (a journey, never a destination) if your primary goal is to be considered a artist, a artiste, a craftsman with no interest in being paid at all: only an abiding interest in winning production awards, being recognized for your gift of perfection, or building on your own sense of wonder.
What the market will bear usually hits on a higher dollar value than most of us realize, as does what the market will bear as far as quality is concerned. While many do actually have champaign tastes at beer prices, most of us will "settle" for good, decent audio and visual production quality and skills - however subjective that may prove to be.
We who are attempting to make a living, stay in business, occasionally expand our business investment, or even make a profit cannot afford to spend time, money and effort on perfection when the rent is due on Friday.
It is also my personal experience that the term "perfectionist" is often used and applied when the reality of what most of us mean is fixing or repairing mistakes, operator errors or mechanical/technical mishaps beyond our control.
I allow myself (not always a profitable allowance) up to twice the total amount of tape recorded (two hours of wedding video footage, six hours of editing) and consider however far I go beyond that to be lost revenues on any given wedding production, regardless of the price/quality relationship, and what I promised to deliver.
