Well, why not try your way? You can always make it „not as simple“ if you try really hard.
If it works, great. If not, you will see a reason to do all father quests (in contrast to „clearing all father mines“) finally.
And why are you doing the shields when your priority is „the fastest way out of Greece“?
There are really some inconsistencies here, but have it your way 😉
