DPF is a nothing burger, I've had zero issues with it, just use 229.31spec oil or greater is the lynchpin, I've seen poorly maintained DPF vehicles where the exhaust was completely coked in carbon/oil residue. If the tailpipes are dry with a very light sooting, DPF is fine,
I sure wouldn't limit my choices because of DPF.
I've not done airsprings, however, they swap out no different than the steal suspension, the entire shock/spring assembly comes out whole, one needs to disconnect the airlines at the top of the tower.

W211--
2005,2006
OM648 E320 CDI badged cars--NO DPF, NO DEF
2007,2008,2009
OM642 E320 Bluetec badged cars--DPF, NO DEF
W164/X164/V251
2007, 2008
ML320/GL320/R320 CDI badged cars-DPF, NO DEF
2009 ML320/GL320/R320 Bluetec badged cars DPF, DEF, Runflats.
There was NO 2010 diesel E class, 2011 E350 Bluetec was the W212 cars with DPF and DEF and Runflats.
***NO W211 in the US market irrespective of the engine ever had DEF***
Bottom line:
OM648s NO DPF, NO DEF
OM642s all came with DPFs, then DEF in the 164s/251s in 09, and in the 212s in 2011 in the US market, and then in the W221s in 12 & 13.
