ST4-120 is about the same as for WSPR. For longer transmission periods transmitter frequency stability requirement is higher as the used bandwidth goes down. See user guide 17.2.10. Summary. Of course the (un)stability of the propagation path on 160m band may prevent usage of the slowest modes.

Hello, FT8 on 160m pales. WSJT-X operators customarily running FT8 and FT4 on 80m through 10m HF bands are likely disappointed with trials on 160m. As one of those operators I recently ran WSPR on 160m in comparison to working FT8 QSOs on 160m. In NA EST daytime operation at 2220Z WSPR

Perhaps there "needs to be" some world wide FT8 beacon stations on 24/7, where the beacons are known to have accurate time. WSJT-X, upon the operator tuning to the beacon(s), can report a time difference error, or perhaps even resync the local clock to the beacon in lieu of WWV's or CHU's etc.
