Jun 24, 2023 at 10:22 comment added Ian Agol One ought to be able to prove this for most braid groups in a similar way to $B_3$. It was shown by Venkataramana that Burau representations of braid groups are arithmetic in the appropriate range. Arithmetic groups should have lots of congruence quotients which are perfect by the strong approximation theorem. But I don’t have quite enough knowledge of the appropriate group theory to complete this line of argument. doi.org/10.4007/annals.2014.179.3.4

Jun 23, 2023 at 11:35 comment added Ian Gershon Teixeira Ok I clarified that I want infinitely many non-isomorphic (preferably finite) perfect quotients

Jun 23, 2023 at 11:22 comment added YCor "infinitely many quotients": do you mean infinitely many normal subgroups, or infinitely many non-isomorphic quotients? (However for these group one expects continuum many quotients, although asking for unbounded cardinal finite perfect quotients is reasonable too.)
