So "Kill the Goblin Leaders" has no timer right?

[Dr. Bots]

I killed the goblin priest, but the other two are kicking my ass. Can I just leave this quest alone and come back latter? I don't want the tieflings to be killed.

Yes sir. As long as you don't leave Chapter 1.

No timer as such, but there are some trigger conditions that can mess you up a bit:

As long as you don't leave the area you will be fine (The game should give you a popup warning you if you're about to move to another area & cause story events to happen).

Basically as long as you stay in the same area as the druid grove you should be fine.

Not really a timer but you cannot go to the next map before completing it.
Also if you decide to go the route where you knock out minthara then you need to finish the rest of them off before taking a long rest (once you do a long rest any knocked out opponent will wake up)

I think you can go into the underdark without completing it, at least i remember in my first playthrough stumbling into the Selune's outpost while exploring and i was still able to come back and finish the grove quest. Not sure about the Mountain pass or the forge though.

Wiki reads, that the "no long rest until quest properly resolved" was patched out recently. I can't confirm it unfortunately, as I've been to Shar's Gauntlet and released Nightsong before reaching Moonrise Towers for the first time. So even while I've managed to successfully knock out Minty in Act 1, I screwed events in Act 2 and she died and/or disappeared from the tower (if she ever was there, again, not sure about it).
I'm just mentioning it here as a possibility. If anyone feels adventurous, may test it for all of us, then report the result.

This is correct. You can even go to the grimforge early since it technically is still in the underdark but you can´t enter the shadow curse land from there otherwise you´d fail the goblin/druiid grove quest.

There are relatively few times where something is time sensitive and has to be dealt with in a certain number of rests, and they're pretty clear about it when they happen (being told something will happen "in 5 days" or something similar).

If there's a building on fire or someone's actively in danger, you can't usually afford to wander off, but otherwise things don't advance until you move to the next area- and the game always clearly tells you 'doing this will progress the story, tie up loose ends first' so there's not much chance of doing it by accident.

There's a list of time-sensitive events on the wiki, but of course there's spoilers in it:

You cannot enter Mountain Pass, at all, prior to completing the Save the Grove quest -- if you do, the goblins whipe out the grove AND you can no longer complete Defeat the Goblin Leaders
