Is it possible that the extra features of the + backs comes at some cost when it comes to image-quality?

I don't think that's the case.
I had a p30 before switching to the plus and the plus iso is better, the screen more detailed, though the regular p30 screen was much better in bright sunlight, actually pretty good in bright sunlight.
Overall with the P30, p30+ and the P21+ they have all been bulletproof for me, with the exception of very few glitches.
For a slight period the 30+ had some half black frames when tethering, myabe 2 out of 200 to 400 so nothng systemic, but still a slight plain, though 3.78 seems to have fixed that.
For thethering the phase backs are stable, same for post processing large batches of images.
Yes things can happen, like if you loverload a folder of 500 or so images 3.78 can crash, though the upside is it starts back up and usually picks up what is in the buffer.
Once I tried to batch process jepgs, 2,000 images in one folder and it crashed, though once again started up and the batch que continued where it left off.
None of these cameras are perfect, including the dslrs, but for stability the phase is as tough as it comes and if there is a problem I guess like all the manufacturers they'll make good, though after a gazillion frames I've never had a mechanical breakdown.
As far as the extra crop frame of 1.3 vs. the other cameras 1.1, it really isn't that severe as the 1.3 is actually something like 1.26 and the 1.1 is actually 1.16 or 1.17.
