Do NOT add quality modules to the mines/electric furnaces feeding your main bus. It is poison for your factory, because you can't just use any quality with any quality.
I've had half a dozen spots in my factory come to a halt because ~10 minutes of higher iron quality plates went onto my normal belt, and then clogged a bunch of assembly machines.
Sorters with output priority for higher quality to a provider chest is the way to go if you want to bootstrap quality onto your main production
That thought had crossed my mind, though there is an inherent problem in that if you don't have recycling to deal with excess, you'll still eventually get backed up with higher quality ingredients, or you'll have to prioritize mines/elec furnaces based on existing need.
