On networks with lots of devices connecting and disconnecting it can
make sense to lower the DHCP lease time to allow addresses allocated to

That makes sense, I did always wonder why the lease time was adjustable.

I use mainly fixed IP addresses - they have infinite leases. I have a
small pool of addresses for guests, and they have a lease time of 12
hours.
