WRT security, while I appreciate your reasons, I'm trying to get to a place where I no longer keep my secrets in browser stores (Google Password Mgr, Safari) and only want them in 1Password. Over time, I've found browser complexities and constant change inherent in software distribution have resulted in my not having the correct settings or inadvertently turned on something that in retrospect, I wish I hadn't.
When you use the 1Password browser extension, or Universal Autofill, your passwords and other items remain protected by 1Password. They're not shared with Google Password Manager or the default password manager in Safari.
1Password in the browser uses a completely segregated browser storage space to store your encrypted passwords while Quick Access uses the same encrypted cache that the 1Password desktop app uses. Your passwords are not saved outside of 1Password. You can read more about the security of 1Password in the browser here:
