One reason I’m increasingly interested in mediocrity as an ethos is that I sense this creeping, paralyzing perfectionism starting to infuse stuff I do.
Mediocrity is movement. It is staying in the high reps/volume middle zone rather than wandering into 1RM zone.

Mediocrity is an energizing aesthetic blindness that allows you to blunder, crash, and muddle through resistance you didn’t know was there. Experience invariably curses you with taste and that’s the beginning of the end, when you acquire ability to smell perfection a step away.

Is it mediocrity or an expression of kaizen? The latter is a much more interesting mindset

There's a relationship, but not quite kaizen. Kaizen tends to lead to lean six sigma excellence orientation at the macro level. It's kaizen+playfulness in open environment = mediocrity orientation (fat+lean)
