I don't see a problem with priming a quest-only frame. When you think about it, how does that really matter? The prime made the original pretty much obsolete - just like every other prime. It can be obtained from relics instead of the regular source - just like any other prime. Original Mirage is actually pretty easy to get compared to some other frames - one could argue that it's one of the easiest for someone who's hated by RNG, as boss drops with their possibility to drop 50 parts you already have before that one you need are slightly less reliable than quests that guarantee parts. Not to mention frames like Saryn or Ash (and Mesa once it gets primed) that are simply harder to get as non-primes, and their primes are not only objectively better but also much easier to obtain.

The only way being a quest-only frame makes Mirage special is the fact that if you're a new playerm you get Mirage and decide to sell her because you don't really know how everything works yet and you're low on slots (or for whatever other reason, really), Mirage Prime is the only way to get any version of Mirage without paying plat. This should be fixed if they make all quests replayable, but until then, that's a reason why NOT priming quest frames would be a mistake.
