I see some superset tools that extends Markdown, like Quarkdown seems to be very powerful. Is there a way to replace markdown-it extension with tools like Quarkdown?

GitHub repo of the day, impressive!

Can Markdown be replaced with Quarkdown

No not possible, you would need to extend markdown.it with the various features you want.
