No OF = No iTunes.

That's correct. Since there's no OF anymore, iTunes would only recognize the iPod Classic as being corrupted or in recovery mode, as my own personal experience has shown me. So in this sort of case, you would have to copy your music over manually.
Now, as for DFU mode...
You need to press and hold MENU+SELECT until the iPod resets itself, and continue to hold the buttons until it resets a second time and shows a black screen. Once the screen goes black, release the buttons and connect your iPod; it should be picked up by your OS as a DFU device.

As yes, good point - I forgot there is no dual boot for now.

I have the strong feeling that you're not waiting for the iPod to reset the *second* time.
It's important to keep holding the Menu+Select combination until the iPod resets, and *keep* holding it...it's quite literally something that you cannot mess up if you hold the key combination for too long, as far as I know you can only mess it up by not holding it for long enough.
So: The iPod is in an on state
~press Menu+Select (and continue to hold it) the iPod will reset
~the Apple logo appears (continue holding Menu+Select), some time seconds will pass
~the screen will transition to a full black state
~this is DFU Mode

Eventually adding an improved version "FS#10023 - iTunes communication for software USB targets" for the Ipod Classic might be a good idea.
