For the past 10+ years, we have been using a custom DHCP server written in Perl that did all of its lookups for host reservations in a postgres db. Recently, we have migrated to bind9, and are approximating this with regular generation of conf files from the database and OMAPI. This works ok, but we would like to have a DHCP server with better support for this.

+1 On this comment.  Seems like having an SQL backed DHCP server, being able to store host reservations in the DB would be a primary feature.
Also happy to assist / help test etc.
