We released DAG as an MVC, which helped a lot of people out even in its current state. We do release features here iteratively intentionally, with the idea that feedback will help make future iterations better in unexpected ways compared to if we released a big feature all at once.
The items you mention are scheduled for follow-ups in our epic https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/1716. Your feedback on sequencing or how we are approaching the different improvements is more than welcome.
I would have loved for the feature to be useful for you too in the MVC iteration, and I'm sorry it wasn't. We are still working on it, though, and I hope that it does become valuable for you also. In the meantime you should still be able to use GitLab in the same way you always have - let me know if you're having trouble running pipelines without the DAG.
