There is no reason to make Dappled Forest rare.

In my opinion, when Temperature=1 (the full range is 0~4), Dappled Forest should replace Forest rather than Plains, regardless of the Weirdness (another biome parameter, currently Dappled Forests require it>0).

Consider Mangrove Swamp. It now has a wide spawning area, replacing half of old Swamp. Why not do the same thing to Dappled Forest?

  I don't know how temperature works exactly, but i do like this idea and i don't even think it would be weird at all.

  I see the dappled forest has a transition biome into the colder biomes (like taigas and its variants and such), so having a slightly less cold biome, like the dappled forest, replacing normal forest would be fitting. This would stop world gen of generating a forest next to snowy plains, taigas, groves and snowy slopes (and old growth spruce/pine taigas ? not sure), which is kind of weird if we're being honest.

  Im not sure about birch forest and old growth birch forest though, would we just replace them as well ? They apparently thrive in the cold so it would be a good decision to keep them spawning next to dappled forests in my opinion. Maybe they could update the (old growth) birch forests in this update too to make it look like the minecraft art. Wouldn't be too far stretched since we just got shelf mushrooms and are pretty much the only forest types that didnt got updated over the years (i dont count wild flowers, its not enough).
