I suppose it depends on your definition of success. For me it's more about medium and long term success, not growing quickly and selling out a couple years later.
Sure you can bang out a ball of mud that ticks all the right buzzwords of the time, but I've not seen this approach last more than a few years.
Having said that it can completely be a winning strategy to bang out an MVP quickly, knowing a major refactor will have to be done later. But I would consider that to be good engineering.
