I mean, based on the claims and the benchmarks, it seems to provide massive speedups to a very popular tool.
How would you define "quality" in this context?

High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also is readable, understandable and maintainable. You can't judge code quality by looking at the compiled result, just because it works well.
That's certainly one opinion about it.
One could also say that quality is related to the functional output.

Right, I said nothing that contradicts that ("High quality code isn't just code that performs well when executed, but also ..."). High quality functional output is a necessary requirement, but it isn't sufficient to determine if code is high quality.
