Not sure how private are #Nostr DMs.
Can someone clarify?

I could login with your npub and see who you have been DMing with, but can't read the messages because they are encrypted.
I'm interested too
It depends on the client you're using and the method you're using to communicate. Confusing... I know. If you're using Snort, Amethyst, Nostrudel, Coracle to 0xChat then your DMs and their metadata are private. If you're using Primal, Damus and others, then the DMs are private but the metadata is leaked. There's a new standard being worked on now by nostr:nprofile1qqspwwwexlwgcrrnwz4zwkze8rq3ncjug8mvgsd96dxx6wzs8ccndmcpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7l352lu and the hope is that everyone upgrades to it when he's done.
no. this work that im talking about here is about using MLS (a messaging protocol) with nostr, to give us better and more private DMs.
Parts of the spec use disposable keys (for gift wrapping) but like Derek said, the real benefits come from using MLS. You can read more if you look up NIP-104 on the NIPS repo. Happy to answer questions though.
