QFG4 floppy disk version was infamously buggy at the time of its release, yes. It required multiple fixes, and not everyone had the internet yet then so it was a real issue. The CD version, however, which was released later, fixes almost all of the problems and is pretty stable. I've never had a problem with the CD version -- though I would recommend sticking to the DOS version, as always. Sierra's Win 3.1 engine just wasn't very good, and I think it might be less stable than the DOS version too.
Anyway, no, DOSBox doesn't need a special configuration to run QFG4 CD last time I checked... and as for timing problems, there wasn't a fix for that? I thought there was... but anyway, plenty of DOS games do have timing problems, which is why DOSBox has speedup/slowdown hotkeys.
