1/ One aspect of publish or perish that I think is under-discussed: shitty writing. Writing well is a learnable skill. Most graduate students master it. But, in practice, it demands LOTS OF TIME. And, that's hard to justify given the endless frenetic struggle.

It seems if you are writing too many things, you will likely not put enough time to rewriting it into a form that is easily understood and learnt from. Also, it would impact the time available for in-depth research and discovery.

Yea, that's the thing. I think we're all trying to write too many. And, I think digestibility facilitates in-depth research and discovery, but...collective action problems rule us all.
