If you're showing a home project you've been working on, it's perfectly acceptable for parts of your code to be work in progress. [..] Show that you are aware of priorities.

100% agree, with a special accent on the priorities part. I'd always take a dev that knows how to choose his priorities over one that "perfects everything" (whatever that even means).

That said, I think that you should have at least some part of the code sleek and well tested, just to show that when you eventually put a priority on something you do it well.

Priorities are super important, yes. I have a lot of things/bugs shoveled into the backlog, including tests on many non-critical parts. Otherwise, nothing would be working even at this point.
