Its okay

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."
-Shigeru Miyamoto

I mean, it's an Early Access release, so the game is going to be changing and improving pretty substantially regardless of what state it releases in. Miyamoto's quote isn't altogether applicable here.

The primary issue here isn't that the game will be forever bad, but that so much of a game's long-term success (even an EA one) relies on it having a successful launch. If the game launched into EA broken, even promising that it will be good later wouldn't be enough to earn people's trust and secure further sales. They want to release a quality product that inspires faith in the game's future, otherwise they don't get the crucial word-of-mouth promotion indie games rely so heavily on, plus they'll be getting a lot less of the community feedback they're hoping to use to improve the game between the EA release and its main launch.
