I stumbled upon my own comment again two months later so I figured I might as well post the solution:

Red Hat Quay requires an object storage which can be either managed or unmanaged by the operator. The unmanaged one has to be preconfigured beforehand while the managed one requires either an instance of the Multi-Cloud Object Gateway or a production grade RedHat Openshift Data Foundation instance, as per the docs.
