> Can you let me know thoughts behind why only as a last resort?

I think voting got such a good reputation as our modern democracy has forgotten about the original idea where democracy was about public discourse and finding consensus. Only in the event that not consensus can be found but all arguments have been laid out and are understood by the partizipants voting was the last resort to come to a result. Voting is dictatorship of the majority over the miniroty and creates a winner and a loser group, so it has potentially negative impact of a group. In contrast to find a consensus makes the group stronger as they feel more aligned with the result they could create together. 

It also reduced outcomes to binary outcomes which might not always reflect good the situation.

> Can a vote not be used so speed up a process to gain agreement for or against a proposal quickly?

Sure if things get stuck it is for sure a tool to be used. I just don't have the feeling that this proposal suffers on stale mate problems, but rather of different expertise and understanding of risks (CBM experts vs. Bisq experts -> both tend to lack understanding of the other domain). 
I know that issue is very old, but I think there have never been a serious discussion in the past, so it really started to me only recently...
