The reason why Quamzin said it was ironic because the shock-factor of culture no longer worked as a viable weapon against Zent forces, as Quamzin had demonstrated near the latter half of Macross.
You will also note that there were approximately 1,000 ~ 2,000 Zent fleets still in the known galaxy, each with 4 million vessels or more mentioned in Macross. According to other materials, after Space War I, UN SPACY encountered some such forces and had a rather difficult time pacifying them since they were introduced with elements of culture or had the capacity to filter out culture (such as the Minmei attack).
With this kind of overwhelming numerical superiority, the ability to repair and reconstruct suddenly becomes secondary. That is, regardless of the Zents' knowledge to perform the said tasks in the first place.
However, the first wave of Zent spies into Macross (the trio) were shown to have the capacity to maintain their tactical pod.

Quran Quran's exact lines were "ゼントラーディの武器は優秀だ！" simply indicating the excellence of Zent weapon design. She did not, however, resolve the question of, "gee, what if it was damaged (by external forces or by accident)?"
