Some clarifications:

• Quarto CLI v1.6.43 uses Pandoc 3.4.*
• Quarto CLI >v1.7.21 uses Pandoc 3.6.3
• pandoc-numbering is a Python module that package a filter for Pandoc.
• pandoc-numbering version is unrelated to Pandoc version or the Pandoc version used by Quarto CLI, so "The given examples do not work (at least in quarto v1.6.42, pandoc 3.5.0)" means the you've tried the filter independently of Quarto CLI using Pandoc 3.5.0 and that it does not work. If it does not work in Pandoc, there is no way it can on Quarto. If that is the case, you are in the wrong place: ask the authors of the Python library.
• Did you read the documentation on using filters inside Quarto? https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/filters.html#activating-filters (Python filters do work in Quarto CLI as demonstrated in other discussions)

Note that your example is not reproducible. There are nothing but the markup, so why do you expect Quarto to know that a filter is to be used if you don't specify it?
Please provide a small fully reproducible code that clearly show what you've tried.
Please also ensure you've the read the documentation of the tools you are using.

@mcanouil Many thanks for the explanations and hints. Thanks to them, I have managed to implement the advanced numbering options of the pandoc-numbering-module in Quarto. After installing pandoc-numbering the following Quarto document rendered as expected:

---
title: "Advanced numbering with Pandoc-numbering"
filters: 
  - env/bin/pandoc-numbering
---

This is a Quarto document with enhanced numbering features.
