An ideal constant Current Source has a resistance of zero ohms and that makes T = RC very small.

According to R = dU / dI, an ideal current source shows an infinitely high source resistance. Why? Because an ideal current source allows huge dU while regulating dI to zero, making R infinitely high.

An ideal voltage source, on the other hand, allows huge dI while regulating dU to zero, making R to zero.

By the way, take care that the pull-ups does not decrease too much. The I2C bus can be extended over a larger area. Too fast rise and fall times would be problematic because of transmission line effects like ringing, overshots and phase margin violations.
