the fact that these are the most vital bits; it feels like we're still

I agree with this assessment. I would go even further and say it is to a
large extent 'lets make sure the installer is not totally broken for
exotic cases' testing.
From my perspective, the two main avenues to a new Fedora release are
the live installer and preupgrade, and those two should get all the
attention they can get.
We didn't do stuff like making sure the desktop was polished.
I don't think lack of QA was a major impediment to our polishing
efforts. Of course, QA involvement is still appreciated...
