Let’s summarize
Ashkenazim continue to hold not to marry more than one wife (if cherem expired then midin minhag.not simple but all Ashkenazim follow this way).No difference between Sephardic and Yemenites.Simply allowed for them,however since it has become general custom to only marry one wife ( not just because it’s illegal) and there are many sources that show that it is generally preferable to have only one wife,some say that in the ” new world” it is also prohibited for sefardim.Since a religious ceremony of marriage is not illlegal and a second marriage license is impossible no question of Dina dimalchusa could even begin.
