I have one simple question to ask. In total, how much watt V4 need to function in mint-condition. For example, if you are using PI 4 power supply and it generates maximum 5W, from that 5W how much of it is taken for the V4 to function and be stable 100%?

Please note that a Pi4 will often use more than 5Watt.
A PI4 power supply should normally give 15 Watt.

According to our measurements the V4 needs about 2 Watt.
Of course the total usage is also depending on Keyboard, mouse, joysticks and Flashdrives consumption.

A fancy gamers Keyboard can increase power consumption.
