This thread is tempting me to go back and explore DADGAD, but agree that this tuning is best for evocative fingerstyle accompaniments, or instrumentals, but not as some think just a lazy way of playing basic chords in D major, although there lots of extended chord voicing possible that you just can’t finger in standard tuning. It also helps in getting away from thinking in rigid chord progressions, which can tend to put songs in a strait jacket, which arguably our predecessors would not have done.
