With Overcooked 2 added to the Xbox Game Pass, for online multiplayer/co-op, do all players need to purchase the DLC to play together or just the host?

Yes.
The description in the eShop on the console says this:
This software includes features that support online play. A Nintendo Switch Online membership (sold separately) is required for online play...Visit www.nintendo.com/switch-online for more information.
To make sure that this notice isn’t put on every game with online content no matter if it is free to play online or not, I checked Fortnite’s page and it didn’t have the notice.
(I cut out irrelevant legal stuff from the quote).
Turns out, you need to do this from the very first screen, where the truck is! In the bottom right, there is a "box" with the option to add another player (by pressing E on the keyboard)
This is the screen (although in the screen below, it shows you need to press Y)
Best Answer
Only the host needs the DLC. Other players with the vanilla base game can join.
