you don't say but if you are on windows this may be incorrect:
  darktable preferences (the wheel above the images display on lighttable)
  lua
  create txt sidecars .... (3rd option on my display)
  
but I don't believe it works as you think.  above will generate *.txt
files matching your images displaying exif data and filename, but I see no
way to display it over an image.

but...

  darktable preferences
  gui options
  miscellaneous (last group)
  overlay txt slidecar over ... (4th from last)

will display the filename and some of the exif (shot) data on mouse-over
image in lighttable and filmstrip in darkroom.  but afaik, not editable.
