We've used these with our 2018 touchbar pros (as well as the models without touchbar) and are able to use them with the machine closed like you asked... though this one is HDMI and not DVI:

The problem is that most of these adapters (not just this brand) seem to still be trying to catchup to the tech. These adapters (again, not just this brand) all run pretty hot and seem to run into problems as far as connection goes. A lot of the time the solution is to unplug it and put it into a different USB C port on the machine and it can usually resolve the issues. That said, a lot of our users seem to burn through theirs and they become VERY finicky to the point that if they bend a certain way the monitors no longer connect until the adapter is repositioned just right.

With that in mind, I'm still on my original one, so as long as the user won't be moving it or placing the adapter so the cable bends at awkward angles it should be fine (well, more of the standard hit-or-miss).
