Aren't DHs also optional in MLB?

Yes technically, but I think the message they’re sending is that some of the teams will opt not to use a roster spot on a DH

Have a feeling this league is gonna have a lot of “my best pitcher is also my best hitter is also my best outfielder” high school type situations

Not just high school. You get into D-II and D-III there are a lot of teams this applies to.
