I had some trouble with this issue on the second movement of the Tanaka a few months ago.
My feeling is this.... acuracy and tempo are both very important. As are dynamics, phrasing, interpretation etc. It isn't really valid to discuss the merits of these things individually. It seems like you are asking "If I have to give up one which one should go?"
You also mention that sections of the piece are under tempo. My question then is.....are you saying these sections are unattainable to you at tempo and will continue to be even if you are REALLY practicing? If the answer is yes then I would say that it isn't a matter of choosing which to give up (speed or accuracy) it is a matter of choosing a piece that is more appropriate to your level. You have probably heard this before, but when I have tempo/accuracy problems I work the section starting at half tempo moving up by maybe 5 bpm. Over and over and over....
This really isn't my place to say, since I know everything I play isn't magnificent. But you wondered if people would look down on a performer for taking a tempo down. I don't know what level you are playing at but I will say this. IF it is a well known piece.....lets say....Two Mexican Dances, and you hear someone playing it extremely slow... yeah....people who know the piece are probably not going to congratulate you on your interpretation of tempo. They will probably realize it is beyond your level at this point..... A lesser known piece you might be able to get away with.
Just my opinion. No offense intended.
