Yes, enabling quota for a volume will be enough.
When quota is enabled on existing data, back-end quota-crawl process is
initiated to set the xattrs. This process can take from secs to few hours
to complete the task, depending on the number of files present in the
volume.

As part of patch submitted #12741, list-objects now will list the quota
usage count even if limit is not set, so list-object-limit may not be the
right command.
Yes, remove-objects can be changed to remove-object-limit
