You're not locked to the vanilla game as far as modding goes (at least modding that doesn' touch the exe file and dll's).
The downside of buying DW on steam is well steam and the fact that when official patches come out you need to wait for the steam approved version.
In my opinion you're much better off buying the retail game, you don't loose anything over the steam version and you gain much more freedom.
Just my 0.2 €.

What DW really needed was a dynamic campaing :P but i guess that it might be a bit odd since unrestricted warfare in the mordern age is not likely. But maybe a cold war setting

Well randomness is built into the mission editor so "dynamic campaigns" can be developped.
If I remember correctly Silent Hunter 2 didn't have any kind of dynamic missions but enteprising modders came out with a mod that had a limited dynamic campaign engine.
So maybe something along those lines can be developped for DW.
I doubt we will ever have a full fledged dynamic campaign engine as the SH 3-4 games and to be honest I would very much prefer SCS to concetrate on the Opfor pack.
Without it DW is just over 50% of its potential.
