Thomas,
1) You can't hurry the above, e.g., by imposing artificial deadlines,
or by saying "no objections during LC, therefor ready to go". You
have to have the reviews, and you have to iterate.
The IETF is supposed to produce a product that has market relevance.
The IETF does not have a "market" beyond its mission statement (qv.).
The "markets" addressed by IETF activity depend on IETF participants.
The model you describe fits my own sense of research efforts, not product
development.
To the extent that the problems the IETF participants choose to work
on are hard, the activities will in fact be research. The point here
is to make the process efficient, not to hurry the work when it
shouldn't be.
