But then, these DVDs will be played on interlaced CRT displays, so it's probably better (?) to keep it interlaced.

There's no incompatibility of progressive footage on DVD with interlaced display: the video is outputted by fields (fake interlaced if progressive) from any standard DVD player. The main reason for keeping video interlaced is preserving better motion reproduction. When you deinterlace without doubling frame rate (you can only double it for PC or for 720p TV playback) you lose half of motion phases and get some artifacts.
