It depends what is understood as code quality. After a while, writing code that is not verbose, fairly maintainable, and readable, is a given. There is a minimum bar that each team set and it is gated by code reviews. The tradeoff start to happen after those minimums are reached.

I think quality in terms of correctness is always the target, and performance usually has a target SLA.
