Abrasive personalities don't tend to create safe&sane process, many would just yell at the people when mistakes happen. That is not the same. Able not to make mistakes and able to create process with enough safeguards so that mistakes are guaranteed not to happen are sometimes in opposition. Obsessive freak who tend not to do little mistakes may resist the change toward safer process, preferring to play blame game.
Moreover, many with abrasive personalities are the ones who demand and take for granted excessive overtime the moment they are in senior or lead position. "I am too tired and it is late at night lets do it tomorrow" is not an option to abrasive personality.
As a rule, obsessive freak with no social skills you describe wont be able to effectively reorganize the team nor create process nor (if in extreme version) work within process someone else created. He is more likely to end up in endless quarrels about petty differences in coding style.
Ability to create, fight for and enforce sane process is not the same as being abrasive.
He is however absolutely fine when you have isolated position.
