A "quieter than normal" button is necessary, I just don't like the current implementation. So, we can't get rid of it just yet.

I have a patch going up for review today with an additional type called sleeper buttons, which are somewhere between normal and quiet.

Since no one answered, let me ask a different question – would anyone oppose if I were to remove the .mw-ui-quiet class?

Actually, what is the rationale for having a separate "quiet" style?

The one that seems to be given here seems to be the "inverse Fitts' law"
[1], but I don't really see how just making a button more bland helps with
this.

I'd be all for killing it and sticking to a simpler visual convention,
just using regular (non-colored) buttons where we'd previously try to use
the quiet ones.
