Essay Question Type only has 1 mark field for grading, is it possible to extend it?

I'm new with Moodle, thus seeking expert advice.

We need to grade essay questions inside of a Quiz using a "rubric" that has multiple dimensions like this...

  • Introduction "weak" (1 point)  "sufficient" (2 points) "strong" (3 points)
  • Conclusion "weak" (1 point)  "sufficient" (2 points) "strong" (3 points)
  • etc...

Questions

  1. Is it possible to extend the essay question type or do we need to create own on question type?
  2. Do we need to develop a custom grading form (like some plugins do)?
  3. Do we need to create a custom quiz activity?
  4. Will a custom question type work with the gradebook or would be break such native integration?
  5. Actually, is it possible to use the "Rubric logic found in the assignment activity into the Quiz activity" since it does everything we need (but we can't use the assignment activity"
