VFX technology shouldn’t make any meaningful difference to Quantum Leap. It was never effects heavy (the only one being the leap in/out at either end of each show). What would ruin it would be to turn it into a heavily CGI’d production just because they can.

The sci fi concept was just the means of getting the story to where it needed to be, which was to ask questions about how our lives are a combination of our choices, other people’s choices and accidents and whether there’s an over-arching force or intelligence also at play. It was pop philosophy with a bit of throwaway theology also in the mix in later episodes.
