Looking at replacing the manky fence panels soon, and
during my searches I found the common size fence panel is
40mm deep. My concrete posts have a 50mm recess.

Surely this will lead to rattling in the wind, but I can't
find any spacers or brackets, or any mention of such
things.

That's quick!

10mm is a reasonable clearance to allow you to hoist the panel up and
get it into the channel.

Then, you just need to put a bit of timber in to stop it rattling. Maybe
some scraps from the old panels? I suppose the fact that gizmos exist
for this particular purpose is some indication that it's a common problem.
