Before dumping a ton of money on a DCF tarp you might get a cheap poncho tarp (they're about the same dimensions of a 7x9 tarp) and try it out. Just a cheap one is fine to experiment, like this: https://www.amazon.com/TETON-SPORTS-Shelter-Poncho-Orange/dp/B0767CRTMD I like tarps but they're just another tool in the toolbox and not a replacement for all my shelters.
I toured this summer with this rain poncho/tarp hybrid.
I don't think I'd do another tour without it.
I got caught in a bad thunderstorm in the middle of nowhere with no tree's or shelter, and ended up just sitting in the grass off the side of the road using the ponch/tarp as a cocoon, worked great.
I also used it at night if it looked like rain to cover my bike and gear.
It's nice because it has loops for guy-lines or tent stakes so it's pretty versatile.
