Will a quartersawn white oak board be a candidate to make a backing strip for ipe?

If the grain is straight and there's no sign of weakness then yes

I've never used it. If you have access to hickory or bamboo, they would definately be a better choice... as I'm sure you already know. I guess there's only one way to find out.

Parnel,
made some self bows from fully quartersawm white oak, they worked real well...they seemed a little bit sluggish compared to some others but that wood was hell for tough AND supple. With ipe powering it from the belly side I sould think it be real good.
