Whether or not Hasselblad still use DNG (but his Pentax does, as do Leica...) is pretty irrelevant to the OP's question which was whether he should send smaller, lossy DNGs for outsourced editing.
He is "talking editing with white balance, exposure correction and curves applied. Nothing more complicated than that." So it's a perfectly viable workflow, and his outsourcing company appear to return the results in a way that allows him to apply those edits to the original raw or DNG files.
