The first concern regarding test inaccuracy, sure, that’s the same as saying false negatives should also still quartantine because, hey, the test could be wrong. But we don’t require that.

As to your second point, would you also be saying we should still mask and social distance after vaccination, because just in case?

Not an epidemiologist, but from my laymen's understanding: No, because vaccines will be available to the whole/most vulnerable population, so if you spread you have a fairly high degree of confidence others are immune with zero harm having been done to them.
