To this day I question if DLR was an apprpriate system for London.

Why? Many German cities have similar light rail "U-Bahnen". The
biggest problem with it is a lack of capacity, which to some extent[1]
is being addressed.

[1] I can't help but think it'd have been better to extend platforms
for 4 "cars" rather than 3, as it might be cheaper than doing it
later.

I think 3 is the upper limit (think Bank...). In any case, after
Crossrail, will the DLR loads keep growing?
