We're frequently careless about what is meant by QE.
Here in the fora we generally mean of the entire stack and not just the pixel.
So removing the cut filter improves QE.
And removing the Color Filter Array (CFA) improves QE.
But removing the micro-lens degrades QE.

It appears that the net result is improved QE.

Removing IR cut filter is (reversible) and completely separate from scratching top of sensor. So only CFA/microlens need to be considered.
