If the addresses are always the same and stable, you are probably good in this regard. If I remember correctly (it was along time ago), once using a fixed IP address for the MC200, I hard coded the IP address within the Sooloos App in order to avoid the occasional request for input from the Sooloos App.

In my case with so many devices in my network care of the whole family, I just find it convenient to lock down key devices like switches, printers, main computer etc so as to avoid potential clashes as the address space gets consumed.

As above, if your addresses are constant and not varying, I don't believe that you would see any further benefit in allocating fixed IP addresses.
