Was about to close some windows and noticed I forgot to post below :wink:

I wouldnt worry to much about that.
Pi-hole does below before it assigns an IP to a client:

$ man dnsmasq
[..]
       -5, --no-ping
              (IPv4  only) By default, the DHCP server will attempt to en‐
              sure that an address is not in use before allocating it to a
              host.  It  does  this  by  sending an ICMP echo request (aka
              "ping") to the address in question. If it gets a reply, then
              the  address  must  already be in use, and another is tried.
              This flag disables this check. Use with caution.

And the clients do something thats called Address Conflict Detection:

I too prefer to have the statics outside of my DHCP scope.
