Yes but the MC editor sending different formats is probable the same so in life here I can send DNxHR LO to audio Post then DNxHR HQ (12bit) or DNxHR 444 to the colourist. As an MC editor my MC edit format is irrelevant to the Output (export) format I need to deliver to Audio post. I only used HQ as an example of one I had just done. It went to a Colourist. FYI I Output from MC this morning a 1 minute file to DNxHD 36 and then to DNxHR LO. File sizes DNxHD 36 was 317 MB's. DNxHR LO was 315 MB's.
For the video editor neither of these restrictions are relevant. What maters is that the MC editor can export DNxHR LO files to Audio Post from any MC timeline resolution.(SD through to 4K.)
IMO the answers above all used here show that DNxHR LO would be a reasonable option for some Audio post situations.

By LO do you mean LB? I'm fully aware editing and delivery CODECs can be different, but everything I've read says DNxHR is for resolutions above 1080p, not 1080p and below as well.

Are you saying it's resolution independent like ProRes?
