The game is fully playable of course, but it's rather annoying.
ScummVM is an interpreter of the SCUMM (and many other) game engines. Therefore many things aren't authentic and often improved. for example the mouse movement is smoother and it supports more save games (and many other features).
For comparison you can have a look at a VGA capture from my 486 machine:

Go to 16:00 for Monkey Island and you will see a few seconds of the mouse cursor.
Still, be aware that capturing video footage doesn't show you 100% what's going on. A real DOS machine has a higher refresh rate (I believe it's 70, 72 or 75Hz).
Things like scrolling are really hard to emulate. For example smooth PC game scrolling is pretty much impossible to emulate. It's an issue with any emulator, doesn't matter if it's for the console, PC or Arcade.
I just tried the Game with the latest DOSBox and I get the same behavior.
It definitely flashes more compared to the "real thing". Especially when the scene is scrolling or your character is moving (without scrolling).
If you prefer how ScummVM looks just play the game in ScummVM.
However what I recommend is you purchase the special edition from Steam. IMO the best version of all of them 😁
This is just my personal recommendation however.
