7 a week is more realistic as 8 means you have to get up in the middle of the night to accomplish this...which for some busy people is a very unfair thing to ask. If you don't do this, you can bet one of your quests will drop off the total. Not everyone can afford to get all the facilities and those just starting out are finding it harder and harder to get ahead.

8 is easy. after collecting your FC for the week, don't finish your first week's quest until it's going to drop off. this makes your week push back a bit giving you some room if you get a quest you don't have a facility for.

I understand what you are saying, but I have a strategy that works. When I collect FC for one quest, I do not immediately start the next one. I open every quest, but do not finish one for 3-4 days. That gives me time to open 8 quests that I can finish. I also do not harvest the first crops or trees needed at first because I don't want working my facilities to start them before I'm ready. It works for me. I get 2 FC for quests every 8-10 days.
I also use this strategy for the CoOp quests. I get on the computer before work just to send ships and open a CoOp quest. Then I can open another that evening. I don' have all of the FC facilities, so almost every week there is one i can't do. Sometimes I settle for 1 FC instead of 2, but ANY FC is better than 0 FC!!

I think the dev's have caught on to that because I'm finding I have to open the next quest before the button turns blue to collect my 1 FC and if I don't collect it right away I lose it

I am also getting more and more quests that require 1 or more FC facilities.
to complete it.

I am also seeing more and more that when I try to load something in a facility for the last step of the quest I have to add one more of the product to my storage before I can load it into the facility even if I already have 25,000 or more in my storage.
