Well Satoshi plays a major role in the beginning and then again at the end. But if that's so, boo on them for cutting down on it -_-
In the anime they portray it more as though he went against Krad because he doesn't want Krad to have his body (which is also not good for his mental health). Later on we also learn that Krad completely wants to take him over and never give his body back, so it makes sense.
The home-dragging incident is kept in, but I can't really remember if he shows him the basement.
You're for the most part right, just that after they learn about it, you always feel it sort of hanging over their interaction from then on, but they don't talk about it.
We also learn very early in the series that Dark/Krad coming out (ie showing themselves, taking the body over) happens when their counterparts get overwhelmed with feelings (for the one they love). Which is why his mother always shows Daisuke a picture of Risa when he refuses to go stealing, and Krad forcibly comes out when Satoshi meets Daisuke, though it's always a much bigger struggle.
Towards the end it seems to become more and more independent from that, or rather, at least Daisuke learns how to induce/control it better.
I'm not sure how clear cut Daisuke's romance life is in the manga, but in the anime it gets absolutely settled, in a satisfying way (I can't remember how many OMG THANKGOD I uttered), and all throughout it never seems possible that it might turn out to be Satoshi.

But yeah >_> his mom would explode. Which deviates her from the common fangirl, because the common fangirl would be all OMG SQUEE HOW CUTE.
