I'm not fully versed on what log levels provide what data but if you care
about changes to data then "ALTER TABLE table" is just as important an
activity as "UPDATE table" so "mod" exhibits the recommended behavior and
"dml" provides something that should be of minimal value.

DML by itself has value since monitoring schema changes without worrying
about transient data updates is understandable. But a schema-change, by
definition, alters data.

Maybe further description of why you find "mod" unsatisfactory would be
helpful.

Though it is simple enough to just let people use their own judgement....
