I upgraded to Mojave today and had this same problem as you. I found your post while looking for a solution; I tried what you did "turned off dropbox finder integration" and restarted my computer, it fixed the problem.

 

Just for giggles, I then turned dropbox finder integration back on, and restarted my computer, and Quick Look kept working properly.  You should try it to see if it fixes your problem.

    Since updating Mac OS to Mojave the quicklook preview and file previews no longer work.

    I've tracked down the problem the the DropboxQL.qlgenerator ...if I delete that, then it works better, but not perfectly.

    Anyone esle having this problem?

    Thanks.
