I'm not too fond of the use of the term "QA", but I totally agree with the bottom line and even more.
Every team need a "Quality" or "Test" representative, they can do actual testing or simply contribute to the common knowledge or direction of the team.
Searching for "Modern Testing" will bring up a lot of discussions around this topic, mainly focused around the modern testing principles [1]
As a side comment, when I recruit I try to (but not always succeed) to find engineers that are well equipped to perform code reviews
