This has been discussed, debated and simulated. The conclusion is pretty clear that it would not. Sure a DCT 1M vs. a 6MT M3 would place the 1M closer and perhaps very close at lower speeds. However, it would in no way "kill" the M3.
Now that being said to keep the car a purists car was not the only reason to leave DCT off. Cost and a narrower performance gaps were likely reasons as well.
