Ubi says updates are easier to do thru DRM. Won't those updates overwrite any file changes done by the mod?

That seems to be one of the biggest issues that I have with DRM with my verrrrry limited knowledge on the subject.

True. Wonder how many patches or incremental updates we'll see. It's always hell trying to get patches out of Ubi for a SH title, so I'm not sure how much that will be an issue.

The devs have said it's more moddable. Unless the new engine includes a MODS folder, and the updates stay away from it, it MUST prompt you for any updates or it will break mods.
