Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.
As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.
Indeed they do use 11x but it's still a possibility to cause issues. It's entirely possible to manage a fleet of IPs across a net but it takes a solid plan organization plan. My company is big on the acquiring companies game where IP overlaps are a perpetual challenge when merging sites in and you need a mess of snat/dnat conversions to keep routing from getting in a knot.
