In short, the existing research on quote tweets on Twitter suggest that they're not a significant vector for toxicity.

We will see. When "Quote Toots" come to Mastodon, let's watch and see if Mastodon turns into a toxic dogpile site. My prediction is that it will (though it will be more left-flavoured than right-flavoured like the Birdsite). Yours is that it won't.

We'll let history decide which of us was right. (And if I was right, I'll drop Mastodon and the Fediverse like I dropped the Hellsite and the Birdsite.)
