My question: are pawpaw peels harmful, or just taste
bad? Would it affect the taste (or healthfulness) of the pulp to just slice
the pawpaws and run them thru the mill without peeling?

My biggest concern would be an adverse effect on the flavor. Typically, the skins have a bitter taste, presumably due to alkaloids or tannins.
