I do think that going with a dedicated device is a better approach. Imo, the screen/hardware is only a small part of a quality VR headset. Those optics probably don't come cheap, so a 'brainless' VR headset probably won't cost that much less than the Quest. Add in the problems with non-uniform phone sizes, small phone batteries/throttling under load, and the fact that the devs can't target a single HW config in what is a very performance sensitive application, I don't think the bring-your-own-phone approach can compete.
