Some concertos do not need an orchestra and that is one of them.

...and some others find any accompaniment at all unnecessary...I believe there are solo piano versions lying around...

Wait, what I got from the post was that they were making too many mistakes.

I wonder if the s1d1f1 means to say that playing the concerto with string quartet was a mistake?

Chopin did arrange the orchestra parts for string quartet for both concertos. I wouldn't consider it that unheard of for an early romantic concerto. Heck, a lot of concertos from around that time (roughly) or slightly before can even be played in a solo reduction with acceptable results.

And Andante Spianato with Grand Polonaise Brillante Op.22 is a good example

i would think the f minor would especially sound good with a string quartet.

Mozart sanctioned a string quartet accompaniment for three concertos, K413, K414 and K415.
These work well as pieces of chamber music and while I'm fully aware that a number of concertos from the early romantic period were also arranged for such reduced accompaniments (indeed I believe that, in the case of one of the Moscheles concertos that is all there is extant as performing material) it strikes me as a bit of a "cop-out" to perform the Chopin concertos (which are not infrequently performed) in this way as the orchestral writing does not translate into such good chamber music as do the Mozart examples, being more an accompaniment to the piano part rather than an integrated collaboration.
