Right, there are a ton of HID quirks right now, I don't think adding a
couple more for obsolete devices there would be a problem.

Agreed. Even the "quirk support" is now more mature -- there are hidbus 
patches queued in my tree, that allow for creation of separate drivers for 
every non-standard HID device, so that quirks don't have to be sprinkled 
randomly all over the HID code.
If you are going to add any new more or less complex quirks, I'd like to 
ask you to look into this infrastructure.

Thanks,
