So I would still fix network devices like switches, routers, AP's to the low numbers. The range is big enough I can add new routers/AP's etc to replace older ones, get them working then retire the old.

For some devices they still use DHCP but I fix the IP via MAC address.
I pretty much do the same, except I simply have .100+ for dhcp, and all devices I want to have fixed IPs on .2 to .99.
The .1 address is the router itself (default gateway), I'm only up to .12 on fixed devices.
