It would be nice to have animations for : smoke, fire, and fog in a few styles. Uses vary widely: fireplaces, battles, candles, magic, etc

To tell you the truth, I don't know if it's possible to animate fire. The only one way I can think of is perhaps compositing fire animations into the scene in post production work.
There are some morphing fire props I use quite often
ones I use legacy and I add emissions but here is an iray ready one I don't own but looks OK

Has anyone tried using Fluidos for this? Usually when this is done in other programs, it's through what's called fluid dynamics, like Turbulence FD for example. Depending on how the controls in Fluidos work, it's probably your best shot at getting good simulations of smoke, fire and fog in DS.
I was watching some videos about Embergen and thought of this thread. There is, or will be, an Optane plugin for this product. There is a 14-day free trial. It looks pretty amazing.
Well there is this:

but very expensive, it was a few days ago in sale for under 50$.
