I know that the rules don't include the entry of the DP on defense for someone other than the Flex as a substitution. But I wasn't sure if it still had to be reported (similar to when a courtesy runner enters the game).

Live and learn...
It is not similar to the CR because the CR rule specifically requires reporting, while the DP/FLEX rule does not.

I am still confused whether the DP was reported as playing for the FLEX before the game.
If so, different status for the FLEX, who then re-entered to play defense in the 1st along with the DP.
