Everyone in the order of the phoenix knows how to cast a patronus and send it to someone else,
Surely if that were an option, the families of those in Azkaban would have been doing the same already. I’d go along with Quirrell on this—no one but Harry would stick their neck out for Hermione. She doesn’t even have wizarding family.
Plus the chief auror has already said that the aurors wouldn’t stand for a 12 year old being exposed to Azkaban,
Lucius implied that those who wouldn’t stand for it would be replaced, and that shut Bones up. I don’t see open revolt by anyone but Harry.
Sure, all the prisoners who have family/friends in the order sufficient to provide 24⁄7 support, that believe the prisoner is wrongfully imprisoned, and have the support of the Aurors are already being protected. The rest have to make due with the occasional visit and bribe their way past the aurors.
They would of course believe it to be a temporary solution, just until they can commute Hermione’s sentence to a lighter/more appropriate one, but as the saying goes; “there’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.”

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix plus Harry plus Draco isn’t a lot of people. It’s easily possible that none of those people know anyone in Azkaban that they think is innocent. Actually, for all we know Dumbledore was motivated to find a way to send Patroni to other people by his father being in Azkaban.
