You really could just leave the DCT in Drive Mode and be happy with that for sure.
I have found that the ways I like to interact with the DCT is mostly like this:
In Drive mode for if I decide to commute in Boston traffic with my Z

I like when in Drive mode you can seamlessly switch to the paddles, to downshift, bang through some gears with aggression, and if you don't continue their use, the gearbox shifts back to Drive mode on it's own.

I drive a lot in Sport mode. I don't always engage the adaptive suspension, unless I am driving a longer distance on the highway or something at a fairly consistent higher speed.

And of course all signs point to all out Sport mode plus when the Kracken needs release!
