Don't forget that without posthumous publishing we would never have got to read Stieg Larrson's trilogy. All three were published after his death. I would certainly have missed reading three great books if they had not been published.
As to unfinished works, I think it depends on how unfinished. Don't forget editors have a lot to do with what we finally read and as a result a partially completed work may or may not be what the author intended but it will certainly be what the editor intended.
