About the only time you'd strictly *need* dynamic configuration in an OOB is when directly connecting it to a commodity Internet link. If you're willing to give your poorly secured and rarely updated OOB a public IP address, you're a braver man than I am. If you are that "brave" then you'll need a more robust set of dynamic configuration tools than just the ones you've listed and you'll also need a dynamic dns client or some other mechanism for the the OOB to let you know what addresses it ended up on.
it's possible that he's thinking of a world where your dhcp is not 'dynamic' but a management system which can keep all the other bits of information updated (and easily updatable!) for the remote nodes: ip address def-gw dns servers for instance.
