First thing today was testing this: I have found that using default setting 
(fresh 12.1 install) with Network manager and STARTMODE='onboot' it works. 
Only catch seems to be that network has to be disconnected for more than 5 
sec. to ensure that the interruption is registered and a new dhcp lease is 
requested. 

Our switch down/up cycle is currently something like 15 sec. so I see no 
problem in how things work now. 

We might get better results by changing STARTMODE, but is this used at all 
when Network Manager controls the interface? The settings is not assessable 
from Yast when NM is in control.

Anyway, as we have no control over what computers our students drags into our 
campus, we will go a long way to make sure most things work with common 
default setting.

So from my point of view I see no problems with dhcp in 12.1
