There is nothing there that tells you to do them, or that they'll become mandatory later.

I got the quest, did it, and it unlocked them, but not once was I told "queue for this and do it or your progression will be hardlocked".

Every other instance case, the main quest story(which is pretty much the only quest line I've done the entire way up) is hard locked until you do the instance that that part is in.

For all intents and purposes, it's optional content. Optional content that has horrid queue times and is compounding the problem I have with the MQ in general.
