I totally agree that coexistence of DMInterpolate and DMPlexInterpolate which do something fundamentally different is confusing.

What about DMPlexInterpolateTopology (or DMPlexTopologyInterpolate?) - would still refer to "interpolation" if somebody is used to that and the same time more clearly distinguish from DMInterpolate. And as Matt says, it's usually used up to once per program so the longer name is not a pain.
