It would be more accurate to say that neither -j nor --quiet can be used
with interactive actions. mr commit can be an interactive action unless
-m is provided, so they're certianly supported by mr in general.

One approach could be to add a flag denoting which commands can be
interactive and refuse to run them with -j or --quiet. Although mr
really has no way of knowing if a commit has flags specified that make
it noninteractive. The other approach is to accept that like all unix
tools this can be used to shoot yourself in the foot.
