I'm always cool with people using a boost in lieu of quote toots. ie: boost someone else's post/reply then boost your reply to them. I don't know any other way of sharing information and giving context to the conversation unless writing a brand new post summarizing it all. Largely I would say it falls into the category of noise though. Unless your followers increased by 200% I'm not sure it's worth possibly losing existing followers who are just like wtf I already read that post. But Mastodon has all kinds of ways filter things if they really were annoyed enough to do something about it. tl;dr: I don't see it as a "problem" but I can see how people might be annoyed by it
