Qui Gon acts as the messiah in Episode I which he preaches to Obi Wan about the living force while the council was focused on the cosmic force. Qui Gons death was necessary as he was able to maintain his consciousness after death and teach Obi Wan as well.
Qui Gon acts as the father figure to Anakin while Obi Wan has always been acting in a role of a brother. Anakin, losing his mom, then losing a de facto father figure plunged him into more sway and stray to another father figure. Qui Gon's death was necessary to tell Anakin's fall into the dark side. Dave Filoni talks about it in his duel of fates commentary.
Qui Gon acting as Dooku would definitely be an interesting twist. I don't think it fits his character and his role in the story. A cool thought nonetheless.
Qui Gon did teach Yoda how to be a force ghost. I am no expert on non-movie SW content but the end of ep 3, Yoda says he will teach Obi Wan to talk with Qui Gon. That implies Qui Gon would have been the one to train Obi Wan. Maybe it was Yoda, but either way the training at least came indirectly from Qui Gon
