Is it okay to send bitcoin directly from Coinbase to a DNM?

In a word...NO. Unless, you have absolutely no issue with sending money, actually not even money, we will come back to that. Unless you have no issue sending most of your personal info to a DNM. Coinbase asks more questions than any other Bitcoin vendor I have ever seen. They wanted to know every address my friend has lived at the past 10+ years. Every bank account he has had in his name in that time, and then weird random questions. So forget money for a second and think about that.
So at this point, you are sending all your personal info, plus the money that's connected to all your finical institutions directly to a DNM address. So in my opinion, hell no, it's not okay.
I think Coinbase is shady, but if you must use it, I would buy through them, then send to a blockchain or darkwallet you crated through Tor, ideally running Tails, and from that wallet I would send through a mixer, either BitBlender or Helix Light (which has been recently improved) and from there send it to your DNM account.
It sounds like a lot more work than it is, and you will pay a few extra bucks to do it, but it's hard to put a price on piece of mind.
Just my two cents, hope it helps, stay safe.

Oh and if anyone is still paying attention to this thread and was doubting what I was trying to explain in vain, you might find this post enlightening. At least I hope so:
Try to stay safe, happy holidays!

Ok? It's not wise, but plenty of people do it.
You'd be fine in all likelihood, tumbling your coin is just added security. I'd focus more on PGP/irl OPSEC.
