This is not possible at the moment.
It is something that people ask for occasionally, but no-one has ever built it.

Thanks Jordi, and sorry for the hassle. That is a very useful summary of most of the issues right now, and I agree they are all bugs, and should get fixed. Thank you for making the necessary tracker issues.
Regarding your new issue 3) there probably should be a further issue added too: There is no way it should be taking that long to re-load the list. Would be worth investigating the performance.
The Open University is moving to Moodle 4.3 in about a month. We we have been testing for some time, and have not found any reason to hold back. Don't know if we will have time to work on any of these (but I shared your list with the person who makes the decisions about priorities.)

Another option is to set the quiz to only allow 1 attempt. Then, when a student asks, add a user setting override to let them make another attempt.

Perfectly resonable irritation. These pluging have been kept up to date internally at the OU, but the task of putting the latest versions on github and publishing to the plugins DB keeps not quite getting done. I making another effort to get it done at the moment (by automating the process more, so it is easier to keep up-to-date in future) but I have not got there yet.
Moodle in English -> Hardware and performance -> Server Configurations required -> Re: Resource comparisons: Pentagon's $10 billion cloud contract [OT]

Note, that presentation is from 9 years ago. Our Moodle is now hosted on AWS. In the AWS docs include a 'Moodle reference architecture' and what we do has a lot of similarity with that. However, as everyone here alwasy says - because it is true - the only way to know how much server resources you need is to set something up and then test with simulated load which is similar to the type or real load you expect.
(With AWS, and other cloud providers, there is also the approach of using the flexibility to scale things up and down. Once your system is running, you can use the live monitoring to see where you are paying for larger capacity that you really need, and scale down to save money. Or, find a bottle-neck and scale it up to save money.)
