DBX Driverack+...any thoughts?

The weight it saves and the auto feedback suppression are the strong points.
All I have in my rack is my board and my Driverack.
I run everything mono and the monitors get the same mix as the mains.
Subs bypass the Driverack and get the main mix; let their builtin crossover sort it out.
Some will say that's a bad setup but it's simple, lightweight and sounds pretty good.

^^ All good points. The FB suppression makes more sense when used with the monitors as this is all-too-frequently the culprit. Since the OP now owns two, why not?

The main advantage to running the subs via Driverack is the para EQ option which allows you to roll-off any trouble spots in the <100 hz territory

For kicks & giggles, auto EQ your FOH (if given the opportunity) in the Flat, Live Venue, and My Band templates. Compare / contrast and find the one that has that "special flavor".
