Very late to this party but may as well put my 2c in.
I pixel peep my own images while processing up to 3-400%. Mostly this is to inspect noise levels and to reveal obvious processing and stacking artefacts around stars (including elongation) and then to evaluate remediation steps. Star quality can make or break an image, even when viewed native resolution! Fine detail in galaxy shots also warrants close inspection just in case I have gone too far. This is especially true when using decon or other sharpening tools.
I do tend to do some peeping at other people's images, but only the ones that look first rate on initial inspection. This is more out of curiosity and comparison, so I rarely comment on my observations.
