My scenario is as follows: I own certain repo on GitHub that serves as production env for some webapp with > 1k daily visitors. I also have Dropbox Plus yearly plan (2TB).

Now, question is: can I use some PDF files (hosted on Dropbox) as external resources of the app? And if yes, than how to do it step-by-step? Share by link and paste link as a resource in my app?

That would depend on how the app handles the link and whether or not it can follow redirects. The link that Dropbox gives you will change as a result of a redirect when accessed. There are also new parameters in the URL related to security that could cause issues. You'd have to test it yourself, possibly with changes to the URL parameters, to see if your system can use the links.
