Considering he was fine with Vader training Galen, I'd say it was more of a power play by Sidious than anything else. Something to put Dooku in his place so to speak.

I mean though the Galen thing was planned between Vader and Sheev apparently, Sidious let it happen despite the possibility of Vader deciding to follow through on the otherwise lies he told Galen about what he was trained to do.
And Vader and Galen as a duo are definitely more of a threat than the Dooku Ventress duo

Even without Galen, Sidious being so worried about a minor thing, or even if he was sincerely worried, the straight and fierce way he handles that dialogue seems out of character to me. It's a long term lesson, to put him in his place, as you've said.
In new canon, I believe so. I believe the Emperor felt that the two of them could one day be powerful enough to beat him. The reason why he wasn't concerned about Savage and Maul, is because he had trained Maul and knows his style and he senses Savage is a newb.
I don't have a screencap, but I remember seeing it in one of the Clone Wars magazines. Ventress is powered up, given a set of new armor, and kills Dooku. Sidious then christens her Darth Vindicaa
It's mostly that they have the potential to cause trouble if they rebelled, particularly because of their knowledge on the CIS and his identity. He's not afraid of confronting them in person, obviously. In such a confrontation, they wouldn't pose more of a challenge (or lack thereof) than Maul and Savage.
He wasn't worried about their abilities or powers as individuals, I think he was more likely worried about the military/overall threat they were becoming.
