Indeed, I think some quests are best left un-tackled. Remember, your mid-game goals should be to gain experience and improve your stats and inventory/equipment as much as possible. Some quests are good for that, others aren't as good.
I find the clear X levels quests to be rarely worth completing, but they are often worth considering as a place to gather XP and items. In contrast, quests that send you after a single monster are better for getting at the quest rewards quickly.
The only harm to abandoning quests is that to win the game you have to unlock the winner quests, which is done by doing all the quests in a town hall / keep / castle. So you can abandon quests in as many as 19 different towns and still ultimately win.
Hard quests in the middle game are worth it only if they come with a kind of reward you are really looking for. For instance, if you are desparately looking for your 3rd book/s, it may be worth attempting quests from a Mages Guild or Cathedral. If you have lousy weapons or armor, a Warrior's Guild or Ranger's Guild quest is good. And Thieves' Guilds give you only gold: they're good for that but not for anything else (apart from gaining membership, if you need ID).
