I want to get the Seiko SRPK29 or SNKE or something but there is a lot of negative information about Seiko’s QC. Does anyone have personal experience with this and is the QC issues noticeable for the average person?

I am not sure how to define “average person” in your case. For day-to-day use, the QC issues aren’t really affecting the functionality of the watch. Generally the QC issues are all cosmetics and it is more like an “eye-sore, unable to unsee thing” rather than affecting the functionality.
For the entry level 4R movement, they are a workhorse, durable but do not expect them to be very accurate. All my 4R movements runs 1 minutes fast in 2 days.
I also heard people say that they have gotten many Seiko watches with no QC issues. But if I got one and my did. would be something I would notice easily?
i own 3 Seiko, one of them has a misaligned cyclops lens for the date window. that’s the only flaw i found
