You can do this yourself, if you go to Customise plugin on the menu for this plugin. It allows you to select which sub options you want displayed. So you could begin by unticking all the ones that mean absolutely nothing to you and end up with much simpler menus.

Don't forget there is a Help file included with the plugin (choose Help on the Quality Check menu) which describes each of those checks in detail as to what they do and why you might want to use it. I suggest you bring that up (it displays in a browser) and decide based on that what menu options might be of interest to you.

I was hoping there was some definition of "error" regarding a book or a library and that your addon could automatically correct said error, but from what I understand from your post it all comes down to preference and there is nothing your addon can do automagically to satisfy noobs like myself as well as advanced librarians if left to its own AI.
As theducks has said, one mans trash is another mans treasure . What is important to one person to be considered an "error" is not of interest to someone else. This plugin attempts to cater to all tastes. Like I said above the most important thing in my opinion is to get your titles, authors and series metadata sorted out - as this will help you get rid of duplicates, searches to work more effectively, recover books that you thought "lost" because they are incorrectly categorised etc and most directly impacts your ability to manage a large collection and find the right book to read.

The other options like in the Check ePub menu are more about the quality inside the ePub itself, which are useful to identify for some people and completely irrelevant to others
