I don't think usage of quote_ident in current requirement of user, would prevent sql injection.
Running sql multiple times, someone can guess the tabename which can give data:
ERROR: relation "am" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT content FROM am ^QUERY: SELECT content FROM amCONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "foo" line 2 at RETURN QUERY

SQL Protect will make above message something like given below:
ERROR: SQLPROTECT: Illegal Query: relations

Which stops user guessing relation.
