Larian hasn't been particularly huge on DLC in the past, at least by traditional means us gamers think of. Closest thing I can think of would be the gift bags for DoS2, which I wouldn't really say was DLC per se personally, as the original mods were already available on the workshop and nexus; Rather it was to port some of the more popular mods for console players to get in on a small portion of the modding fun too. Unless things have changed in partnership with WoTC, I'm much more inclined to suspect a definitive edition with more content and polished content based on how 1.0 went in player opinion, than extra modules added. (But it would be kinda cool to have post-content though, as long as it's additive and not cut out of the base game to be re-sold as "new content". But there's nothing imo to indicate Larian has gone down that dark path.)
Maybe because a DLC in DOS2 where you are already maxed out during the main campaign wouldn't make much sense, but given that BG3's max level will for sure not hit 20, the idea of waiting 5+ years to max out my character is not very pleasant.
Max level in the game code of Dos2 is 35 (though that is because of crashing due to an integer limit), though it doesn't follow PHB so any level cap there is arbitrary. I can also think of many other purposes of a DLC other than meeting a level cap. I'm only saying I find DLC unlikely, as Larian is in my opinion more into making a complete game for what it aims to do, to begin with. But who knows. I'm not opposed to seeing content all the way to max level in D&D
Well BG3 will not have max level 20 or 35 at full release. Please read this I did answer this when someone guess that max level is 12-16. At one point Larian said max level will be level 10. However later they said that MAYBE a bit more. A bit more whatever that is (and it was maybe) is not level 20. They could of course with an expanison after full release make max level to 20.
Sven from Larian said this about full release date. We are very lucky if BG3 will be released in during 2022 and not year 2023. Of course in worst case they could say during year 2023 that no sorry this will be relased 2024.
However my release date guess is based on what Sven from Larian did say in year 2021.

Personally I have never liked super high level content unless you perhaps really earn it and it feels like a truly long time achievement. Max level what I believe in BG3 to be at full release is between level 10-14. Have I some inside information I know it will be so? No that is my best estimate and guess. Regardless if your or mine guess about max level is correct it is true BG3 could get an expansion that raise max level even up to level 20. However a possible expanison of BG3 is far in future and now want first full release of the BG3 game.
My estimate on BG3 full release date? No I do not know this either, but if I give my best guess on BG3 full release date October-December 2022 or between January-December 2023.
