I'd certainly accept this as a valid description of a problem.

IESG is _trying_ to do its job, but it doesn't scale.

I suspect you meant "Lack of document quality control..."
in which case, I'd agree with that one also.

Another statement:

Failure of WGs to understand the impact of their work on concerns
external to the WG, allows documents to proceed with serious problems
that will typically not be identified until Last Call or IESG review.

(which isn't quite the same as document quality, at least as I
understand the term.)
