For Mages, since INT is really the only consideration, DEs are totally fine compared to other races. Sure, you get some QoL with the good/neutral races, Gnomes can tinker, etc., but nothing really material IMO. All the races except Human are pretty close to each other in starting INT, so you can't go wrong picking a DE (as opposed to a class like Enchanter where you need high CHA and then also kind of have to worry about INT, so DEs are not as good of a choice...although still not a terrible one for an Ench either).
