>>120339 No, it's definitely not. Cartier-Bresson, after all, was shooting with a hand-wound Leica. A D300 might be a good eventual upgrade for you, for the viewfinder coverage and all the other "pro" features it brought down, but I don't think a large, square body is good for that kind of work. Keep it small and unintimidating; I doubt random North Koreans are too used to being photographed by Western photojournalists.
I'd think a fast normal prime is the only thing missing from your kit. Otherwise, you seem to have pretty much everything you need. If you don't mind manually focusing, the 28/2 AI and AI-S Nikkors are supposedly excellent and very cheap. Otherwise, there's the Nikkor 35/2, and the Sigma 28/1.8 and 30/1.4, and if you want to shell out for it, the Nikkor 28/1.4.
You might also want to look into a backup, all-mechanical film body just incase everything goes awry. A Nikon F2 would do well, for obvious reasons.
And looking at your EXIF, you seem to shoot on the long side, so maybe an 85/1.8 or 85/1.4, or something like that. Or some fast 90/105/135/etc. lens from somewhere.
