I'm getting ready to wrap up a full QT/Fallow period for my tank. Should I QT a Biota Yellow Tang or add directly to my tank. I'm picking it up from a local reefer who had a QT'd DT.

I would fully quarantine it, unless you know for certain that the person you are getting it from did a good job with biosecurity.
Fish diseases often show up after a fish has been transferred, due to the stress of that event.

I do have a temporary tank set up to observe it while my QT finishes. As long as everything seems fine I'll likely add it directly to my DT drive it is an aquaculture fish

I'm hoping it's alright. The person I'm getting it from is rehoming it because his purple tang has been bullying it
