the justification is that if IPAddressPool contains multiple IP addresses then static assignments will ensure that CNF-A always has IP address X.X.X.X(unless IPAddressPool is solely dedicated to the CNF-A)

if that's a requirement, the right way to address it is to use the service / namespace selectors in the ip address pools (assuming each CNF will have its own namespace, but that can be done per service too).
This guarantees each cnf will have the ip the admin means to assign to them, otherwise they can steal the ip from any pool.

good points @fedepaol. And while without service/namespace selectors IP address from any IPAddressPool could be selected, imho autoAssign set to false is a good safety net from assigning not expected IP addresses.

yes but here we are advocating for static IPs requested by the CNF always, which feels like the exception to me, not the norm. And bear in mind, if you have a pool of ips with autoAssign = false and no selector, any CNF can get any IP they want from that pool, which is not really a safety net.
If you ask me, the proper way to have a good ux and ensure the right tenant gets the right ip(s), this is with selectors.
