On the countrary the early stages is the time, where stacks are deep enough to play some speculative hands like small pocket pairs (setmining) or suited connectors. With shorter stacks its more common, that these hands need to be folded.

That might be true for the WSOP main event, which only runs once a year, and where no reentry is allowed. Here an early bust is a bit of a lost opportunity. But for basically anything else there is absolutely nothing wrong with busting from a tournament in the early stage, if you did so by making a long term profitable play. Like maybe stacking off with a set and losing to someone with a flush- or straightdraw.

What you are describing here is an old school SnG mentality, where "tight is always right", because in a 6-man or 9-man SnG ICM is important right from the beginning. In the past there were usually no antes, and the other players were often so bad, that you could just nit up and increase the value of your stack by watching them bust each other. Some coaches still recommend this strategy even today, but its outdated, and its never been for MTTs.
