This is a terrible idea and I'm sure some legal department is going to take it down. But I thought it would make for an interesting discussion at least.

I use uBlock Origin and it seems to remove the wall overlay. Unfortunately, an invisible wall is still present and you can't really scroll with the mouse (use arrow up and down). Everything else works though.

I usually just click links to Quora in incognito mode.

I'll have to give this a try!

That's probably because it's not running the second line in the JS code for OP's extension[1]:

    document.querySelector('[id*="signup_wall_wrapper"').remove();
    document.body.classList.remove('signup_wall_prevent_scroll');
    console.log("Quora wall bypassed successfully. Carry on.");

That's right, I failed to see this when I created a filter for Quora. I should be able to fix this with an extra filter.

Edit: this works:

    quora.com##body:style(overflow: auto !important)
I will add it to uBO's own filters.
