<a href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/336804/export-to-dxf-from-multipoint-z-geometry-in-postgresql-using-ogr2ogr">
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/336804/export-to-dxf-from-multipoint-z-geometry-in-postgresql-using-ogr2ogr</a> the main issue is in the DXF format that does not support MultiPoints. Try the workaround and explode your multipoints.<br>
About why it is allowed to create a geometry type that is not supported by the driver, I do not know if the validity of the geometry type is checked
