I agree it seems bad for a quick take to immediately collapse if as few as five people downvote, but I do think the downvotes mean something important.
I don’t want to hesitate to downvote a quick take that I think should be downvoted.
Would it make sense to have the auto-collapse happen after 24 hours? Or perhaps a time-discounted thing based on number of votes?
I like the collapse feature in general, and think it’s great for hiding bad comments/not drowning bad comments in downvotes.
I will let the LW mods to think about how to get it done better because having a good implementation seems like the main bottleneck rather than ideas.
In my own ideal world, I think a quick take should be collapsed (perhaps with a better algorithm) in the main page but never collapsed in the person’s quick take page. But the norm still should shift slightly (~10-20%) against downvoting.

Valid. I personally do ponder a very slight bit when voting in general because I think good incentives are important.
