It would be nice to have a checkbox in a homebrew config that turns off the giant red scold text warning you that something is too similar to existing content, when you have no intent of publishing it or sharing it, and it's just a tweak you're making for your own campaign.
Also there are homebrew I use for npcs as the DM that would be better if they were not visible to my players. Not just minor tweaks but complete races, classes, magic items, etc that are never intended for player use.

That can be remedied by removing the homebrew from your homebrew collection. It will still in your catalog of homebrew creations but won't be shared with your campaign through the collection.

...And you'll also no longer be able to use it in your character sheets or the encounter builder, which entirely defeats the point of making the homebrew on DDB in the first place.

Leaving OGL 1.0(a) untouched and making SRD 5.1 CC-BY-4.0 is a great first step. The next is a promise to do the same for future editions. Here's a discussion thread on that.
Yeah, homebrew content is way too hard to move out of a DMs collection and then back into it when needed for a particular encounter. A resourceful DM will never figure out a way to work around the burden.

The fact that you can do it doesn't mean that it shouldn't be easier to manage. If you only have a few things, yeah, it's easy. If you've got a lot, perhaps different custom content for several campaigns, it's not.

DDB is great, but it could be better. Here are some things I think could improve DDB

ya, it's only 16 pages of homebrew (two of which are published), that's not a pain in my @$$
