The Official Strife: Veteran Edition has quest map markers

The GZDoom version does not, but the GZDoom version is superior in every other way (disable headbob and weaponsway, instant load times, and number keys for dialogue navigation). Any chance of getting the quest marker feature added to Strife Veteran Edition when playing in GZDoom?

Wouldn't be hard for someone to make a mod that does that

Wouldn't it make more sense to implement quest map markers as a default engine feature, since they already were such in S:VE's vanilla executable?

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Classes:MapMarker - All that's needed is for SVE's quest marker data to be translated to use these.

Sorry are you saying there's something I copy paste

ACTOR MapMarker native
{
+NOBLOCKMAP
+NOGRAVITY
+DONTSPLASH
+INVISIBLE
Scale 0.5
States
{
Spawn:
AMRK A -1
Stop
}
}

To something in the ZDoom version to get this to work?

Not quite as simple as that, I'm afraid, it'd have to be looked into in greater detail to understand for example how SVE declares which marker is visible, etc. That comes down to someone with time and knowledge of how SVE works, or a willingness to read their source code.
