So, I bought the game an all season passes and started a new save game wit all DLCs enabled. Now Im at the point that it feals very overwhelming as there is so much stuff going on (all new worlds, etc...).

I'm considering starting a fresh save game with maybe only S1 enabled. What i want to ask is, will I be able to enable other DLCs later to the same save game or will i have to start new save game to be able to add them?

Thank you.

My best guess is they don't want to make a new screen in the UI to support it. When a new dlc comes out it's enough to do a pop up, but for existing DLC you'd need a way to select them.

It's a shame though, would be really nice to have that option.

Though it may just be an odd logic thing, for example the separate client for free weekends is really weird too. It's limited to the first three tiers which is FINE for a trial but then it seems like it should always be available - free weekend events usually have the full game instead. And then worst of all you can't continue your save when you buy the full game.

All our latest free weekends (since at least 2021) include the full version of the game and the savegames are compatible with the regular version. This reduced version of the game for free weekends was only a thing in the first year or so after release.

It's far more than just a new UI, there would also significant programming effort required to make this work. And right now, we consider this too high effort to implement, I'm afraid.
