Previously
Is it grammatically correct yo use 'previously' with Present Perfect Tense?
I'd be grateful if you could give some 'authentic' examples.
And specifically, is the usage of the present perfect correct in 'as clause' inthis sentence?
He's anxious that the assembly does not degenerate into a pointless effort as it has previously.

And a last question: Would The Simple Past be also appropriate in the sentence I mentioned above, that is,
............................................as it did previously.
Would this also be correct?

Yes. The more appropriate choice would depend on a wider context.

What if you start the sentence with "previously"? is this correct? Previously, the crew is addressed by the menacing cyclops, Polyphemus, who seeks a reply from one courageous man.
