Is the FreePascal IDE essentially a clone of the TurboPascal IDE, or does it have any shortcomings?

It's a very close look-a-like and it works quite well in practice but the codebase is quite messy, with many things still being based on old MS-DOG and its quirks. Would need a ton of refactoring to make it more extensible on modern systems.
