Most of the quicksand I've seen was in very similar places. I never saw any that would gobble you up faster than you could easily get away, although I have seen one that you either had to cross or give up the trip.

Here in the NE I have seen rescues from both fresh and salt quick mud. I think the worst ones are where there is a small spring seep under the mud. You go from knee deep to suddenly looser mud up to your waist. Scary when the tide if coming in and you're stuck. I've had some close calls but if you're willing to go full mud and lie down and crawl on your belly you can get out. Theoretically you should be buoyant in both quick sand and quick mud.
Dry sand quicksand is a totally different thing.
