Soot is sub-micron in size, so there isn't a filter that will stop it (at least in this application). With the added volume of a filter you get increased condensation (as you have noticed).

I say delete the filter, make sure you don't have any air leaks and call it good. I haven't had any issues in the 3+ years since I deleted the filter and in the 1 year I ran the filter I was working on the system every few months.
The filter he is running is a water trap so its supposed to trap moisture and we provide a drain cock on it to remove the moisture.
Running a BOV or any other device that cycles does breath volume in and out. Without the DPPT it will lock-up really quick as the BOV and/or gate will become the first open volume for the moisture to deposit.
