Correct. Is this a problem?
Just because the statement Quality is Reality is tautological doesn't detract from it's
validity. And it certainly doesn't mean that either is redundant (which also applies to the
labels/terms).
If I say tautologically that MorningStar = Venus = Evening Star which means they are all
labels/terms for the same thing do I have more/less/same information?
Is there a redundant label in here? Not as far as I can see.

But Reality is not a property of Quality - it IS Quality.
Quality = Reality ( = Morality) is an identity relation not a property relation. They are
identical.
Additionally Quality = Reality = Morality is the basic premiss of the MoQ.
Why are you so confused about this when it is such a basic and simple notion?

Reality is not a property of Quality, however Reality and Quality (and Morality) will have
identical properties because they are identical.

Not within the MoQ!
