There are 3 dlc to the game if i remember correctly.
The first "Blackstone key" is just a couple items that run out of utility in the first hour of the game. That dlc was put there in case people wanted to "tip" the devs. Skip
"Pale Reach" adds a 5th biome to the game, before i go further into it i should explain that the game features the starting area and its surrounding ocean an then 4 biomes totally and absolutely independent from each other. Your quest takes you to the first one, once you clear it the quests there takes you to the second one and so on. So that DLC includes a 5 biome (ice based) with its own totally independent sidestory, i personally enjoyed that biome the best on the game BUT i hated that it wasnt part of the main story, its side lore was cool enough.
The last DLC "The Iron Rig" features a new tier of upgrades for your boat, and a series of quests that requires you to revisit the 4 base biomes.

So none of the dlc are needed right away, you can play some or all of the game and then decide if you want to add an extra biome and a reason to revisit the previous biomes for some more Dredge.

I played it on release and loved it but by the time i finished it it was wearing thin (9 or so hours) so probably wouldn't have been into playing the dlcs right away; BUT bought both when "Iron Rig" released and reivisit the game just for the dlc content and had a blast.

Not at all, its a chill game with heavy emphasis on fishing, the otherworldy shit is kept to a minimum (to the detriment of the game imo). Its a fun cozy game with a bit of lovecraftian flavor to it. Give it 30 minutes and if after that you are even remotely interested on it you will enjoy the rest of the game. Just dont go expecting Sunless Sea... its most definitely not.
