How acceptable is it to openly compare team member performances
I had this manager that frequently brought up how team members performed compared to each other during one-on-ones or performance reviews. E.g. "A could do this task in half an hour you took three hours on" or "I can not give you a better performance review because B delivered much more than you did and I am giving them an average review already."
Now the tone on the examples aside how acceptable is it to bring up other team members while discussing performance?

It's not. If I'm evaluating your performance then Bob and Alice have no bearing on the review. Now truthfully I'm human and I may make comparisons to each other (and to other people I've worked with over the years) but I need to deliver my evaluation about you in as unbiased a form as I can.
It's the same principle that applies when I reprimand you and you bring up Bob and Alice.
Bob and Alice aren't there. It's just the two of us.
