The main dirt roads are varying but they really are not that bad (for me the worst bit was the 40kms south of the Jardine Ferry), some roads are better than others too and grading is occuring constantly after the wet. I wouldn't be too worried about it.
Driving with lower pressure really helps as well; just watch your speed. You can definitely travel faster than 20km/h. (The PDR is about 800kms from Lakeland to Bamaga) Heaps of places to visit on the way up too, like Chili Beach. Make sure you pencil in the Frenchmans as well, a great track.
You will travel slower on the OTT due to the track conditions, corrugations aren't really an issue here, you will be too excited waiting for the next water crossing to come up.
Happy Planning, nothing like being prepared.
