Which would be better but doesn't maildrop create a mbox file if the maildir doesn't exist?

Not if you put a / at the end of the folder name. The slash will force maildrop to consider the foldername a Maildir, not a mbox. If the Maildir doesn't exist, the message will be deffered, unless you happen to wrap it in a exception{} in which case execution will continue.

Also, what happens when the customer is over quota or some other error interfere with delivery?

Deferred. Then eventually Courier will start giving 4xx (temporary) errors for the account. No mail will be lost if the issues are fixed before the messages time out in their respective queues.

That said, it's not just the performance issues I'm concerned with. It's just one more thing to go wrong and I believe it should be done on the front end with account creation where I can deal with it right away and not on the back end when the user starts receiving e-mail
