All nice. I like the idea of lots and lots of possible small quests, even though they will probably boil down to deliver this, get that, attack this... but still more variety would be good.

I agree. The lack of quests hurts (I hope it will be changed soon)

I think new quest's should offer change to the gameplay. Im constantly hunting bandits so i really don't need a quest that wants me to hunt bandits.
Also quest's like building a well sound quite boring. What would I have to do as a player? Just wait at the village till the well is build?
Quests need to offer a challenge to the player and it must be possible to fail them.
A quest that is just a skillcheck is not a good idear in my opinion.

But yeah quests are one way to offer some change from the main gameplay loop, if done right.

I'm normally on you side. Though there are a lot of 'Talk to xyz quests' in many games that mostly just rely on one skillcheck.
But so far we've got such thin gameplay loops for most skills, that i honestly don't think it would feel all to boring if you'd have at least some variety for what you wait or travel (to buy wood + stones) or whatever for.
