You're not really any less secure, it just means you need to give IP
addresses to any visiting computers because the router won't assign them
automatically. As long as the router firewall doesn't have any bypass
rules you're fine.
My network is a mix, the static machines benefit from me being able to
pass certain ports to specific machines(servers) where all of the
Laptops and pda s can just get on whenever they want, especially when I
have friends over.
