I've done that exactly ONCE in LR, and it remembers it ever since.
I am just debunking your statement that with LR you are "locked
into a Lightroom style repository that imposes someone else' vision of
order." You are not.
But I am happy to hear that DxO suits your needs.

I can and do all of that using the DXO software, except I don't have to
tell it to not move the files.

Keeping the files organized the way I want them is exactly the reason why I
am using LR.
My workflow is as follows:
I copy photos with their folders (e.g. "106_0104") from the SD card to the
HDD.
There, I have a folder structure that corresponds to Photo-[Year] ->
Date-Event -> 106_0104
E.g. Photo-2017 -> 2017-01-04-CityLights -> 106_0104
(there could be several folders there, e.g. 106_0104, 107_0104)
or Photo-2017 -> 2017-01-04-06-Houston -> 106_0104, 107_0105, 108_0106
On "import", I tell Lightroom to keep the files in place (do not copy!).
And then I'd never have to be "wondering where they went".
Then, I can create "Collections" of the photos for each event, or several
collections - for each sub-portion of the event.
This way I can have access to the collections of the photos that can be
exported for web or printed, or whatever, as well as the complete set of the
photos sorted out in the original folders.

left them I'm never left wondering where they went.
