It is frustrating to watch the work count sitting in single figures, especially in smaller fandoms where every fic makes a difference. But like you say, most of my early fic isn't something I'd be happy posting now; there's no point spamming with reams of unedited works. At least if we did proper edits and rewrites before posting it makes it almost like new fic - but then, is it better spending that time writing new from scratch? It really doesn't seem to have an easy answer. (it's weird considering some of the stuff that gets posted there now but I worry a lot more about the standard of anything I post to AO3 than I did/do to my own journals).
It's like that Federer fan biography written by Roger's 'biggest fan'... who didn't start being his fan until 2007. (I realise this makes us the olds sitting on our porch and complaining about "kids these days..." But!! But!!! We were there! No one suffered those repeated Andy/Roger Wimbledon finals like we did! Honestly, kids these days with their Hawkeye and their 800+ AO3 fics, pfft. ;-) )
