First, you should be proud of yourself for striving to do "the right thing".
In the field I follow the most (Computer Graphics/Rendering) I think there is a big problem with reproducibility as well, and to be honest, I think some of the major players actually have little interest in making this significantly better, since they can take advantage of the visibility of a flashy render/fps counter shown at an event while still keep on building a "moat" between them and others that want to adopt the same methods.
Which is in the end partly an answer to your question: your paper could clearly describe all the elements needed to implement a method correctly, but by providing a sample implementation you allow others to "stand" on your shoulders, as they say, instead of having to climb there first and then proceed. You can not worry too much about the state of your codebase by making clear via README/documentation/license that it's still in "proof of concept" phase.
One reasonable observation I have heard is that in some fields, during peer review, some reviewers seem to like to nitpick on the code rather than the paper, sometimes in subtle ways. Because of that, I think it can be (unfortunately) OK to release the code after acceptance or publication. But apart from this, I see only advantages.
