We would like to put in a utility sink in between our washer and dryer and the 220v dryer outlet is about 6" to the right and 6" below the top of the sink. I know code doesn't require GFCI for this, 120 washer outlet is GFCI, but is this safe or common practice? Thanks.

It is very common to have outlets, even panels near sinks. No biggie.
Remember the dryer is going to be plugged in 24/7 and not likely to be messed around with, so not unsafe.
