I would like to see Dorwinion and the Woodland Realm become allies of Dale, it certainly makes sense. However I don’t think it should lose the alignment of Hobbits. Dale makes things in their markets such as toys that Hobbits enjoy - I believe Bilbo purchases a number of Dalish toys as gifts for his party in the first chapter of The Fellowship of the Ring, so even if they are novelties Dale must have been somewhat aware of and on good terms with the Hobbits in the Shire.
