I share your skepticism of critiquing as you go. For me, I have to promise myself that no one will see my unedited writing in order to free myself of the debilitating need to be perfect. Also, I would wonder how much of my novel is really mine if other people are commenting on it in process.
That is not to say that I don't turn to my fellow writers when I hit a road block for suggestions.
Also, I need to write my drafts as they come. Usually this means rather rapidly. I would chafe under the conditions you describe.
