In most cases, they are synonymous.

But usually wystarczająco (Adverb) corresponds:

sufficiently and enough

And dość (Adverb or Noun) enough, quite and pretty

Dość or dosyć may be used in the negative context of "I've got enough = I'm fed up" - "mam tego dość, mam tego dosyć!"

Wystarczająco always has a positive context, and is used with another adjective or adverb: "wystarczająco dobry", "wystarczająco ładna".

There are some nuances in the use with adjectives:

dość bogaty = quite rich (which may actually be an understatement)

wystarczająco bogaty = rich enough (e.g. to buy a Tesla Roadster)

dość chory = quite ill

wystarczająco chory = ill enough (e.g. to have to go to hospital)

Hope that helps :-)
