Though I would not rush out to buy a property based on DVC joining II, I personally don't see how DVC would be an impossible trade when brought in. I think Hyatt is excellent (at least as desirable for trading into) and in II it has not been hard to trade into two bedroom Hyatt units, the difficulty is it is that they are high-demand, so the weeks making it out of OGS into the regular inventory go quickly. When I say "go quickly", I can see one appear and it is often gone in less than 10 seconds. Sure, people give up their hold and they may circulate for a little bit longer, but they are often gone the same day they are posted.
There are a few Hyatt's this doesn't apply to, but for the most part the Florida weeks go quickly.
I'm not sure if dual affiliation would be important if you already have a week in RCI that you are happy with. If I was going to buy something to trade in II, I would personally lean towards either Marriott or Vistana as you would also benefit from the preference period, should you not want to trade exclusively into Disney with your ownership.
I also think owning Disney is great if that is where you want to be. Trading internally in DVC gives you access to the most desirable resorts, and the points system make it possible to stay less than a week in some places that may never end up in II (thinking of trying to get a 2 bedroom in Aulani may be impossible in II).
It is all just speculation of course, but if you can't trade into Disney with a one bedroom, then maybe a two bedroom will do it. If you buy a lockoff you can adjust your strategy to make sure you have enough trade power.
