A huge problem with this is that some apps don't "accept" this drag and drop, and the preview just disappears without saving the screenshot file. I can't remember the exact apps which behave that way, but I've been burned and irritated multiple times because of this. As a result, I disabled the preview feature and added the screenshot folder to the dock just like OP did.

I’ve seen this with most cross platform apps - like Slack and Skype.

What I found you can do instead is use Cmd-C to copy it and then paste it into the app. That generally works.

And folks wonder why people get annoyed with non-native apps on Mac.
