I've seen a spell where it like hovers the recipient and special ground doesn't affect them. Like poison or fire, etc..
The one dragon transformation (or polymorph) would give you an entirely new skill bar with dragon abilities. The dragon transformation in Divinity 2: Ego Draconis didn't seem that big at all. it was relatively small for a Dragon, or at least it was in my eyes. Slane, the Winter Dragon, in Dragon Form, was way bigger than the Dragon Knight's Form in Divinity 2. So if they scaled it down smaller it might could work.
Although, now that I've had time to reflect. The only Dragon Knight they could add would be Slane and make him like an origin story. Because after playing through the game again and reading his dialogue, having it fresh on my mind. Im pretty sure he says he is the last of his kind.
So maybe have some kind of smaller Drake like form. It would just be really cool to see in-game. Though i suppose i could always have something like that in a game master mode campaign.
