Think about your table setting instead. When you open the table to host guests, if that is what you mean, maybe candlelight or some small lanterns set on the table with battery-powered lighting can work for you. I do like that cloud idea too. If you install pot lights, I would suggest they be on a dimmer switch to soften the lighting for the dinner meal and enhance the atmosphere with table lightening.

No pot lights. Just put the chandelier where it will go 90% of the time. No one expects design perfection for the two times a year you put the extensions in. But for all the rest of the time, very good to have the right chandelier, hung at the right height and location over the 90% table location. If you select a chandelier on a chain, you can get "S" hooks that would allow you to temporarily raise the chandelier if that is a issue. Questions, How long is the table when at 90% state? Can you do a quick sketch of your room please. Include the kitchen island placement. How high are your ceilings in the dining area. Is there a window? How wide is your table? These are all variables that need to be considered.

If you want to make a statement you definitely need to go for a chandelier, spot lights are not enough. you should hang the chandelier to fit where the table is 90% of the time.
