However, that SQ collection only has one ScummVM-playable version (SQ2) and the KQ collection only has two ScummVM-playable versions (KQ2/KQ3).

afaik the sierra re-releases do come with DOSBox though, so you're at least showing them that using open source software for old games is a great idea

Keep in mind that they ship with .63 (several version old) DOSBox. There have been a number of issues that have been fixed in later versions.

And is it hard to replace it?

No, you can use the games with your own DOSBox binary after installing them.

If you go to the Sierra forums you can find a links to the patches to automate this for you. It also replaces the missing files and adds all relevant patches.
