Quinn's laning at top is fine in general, although it's important to note that she's not an auto-win against melee just because she's ranged and has her E. In particular, she has weak waveclear and has a lot of trouble doing damage to tanks or anyone who gets some early armor.

The most important thing to consider however is team composition since Quinn is a squishy assassin/carry that does not teamfight or siege well. There are certainly ways to make it work, for instance having a tanky jungle and support and a strong teamfighting ADC like Sivir or coordinating a split push where your other teammates can waveclear and disengage from a 4v5 easily. But in most team compositions, taking a Quinn top makes your team too squishy and any advantages you get from laning are nullified when the enemy team groups up and forces a teamfight.
