That query is fine to my eyes, although mode=userformat may be superfluous as it's implicitly set whenever you touch the format of the output.

DPL should be unrelated to javascript, the former (I think) is server side, the latter client side. Server strain is the reason Wikia try to point out other options that do what DPL does. Over reliance on javascript is a extraordinarily bad idea in my opinion, but something I think Wikia have done in an attempt to support older browsers *cough* IE *cough*.
