FFS - will you please learn how to trim what you're quoting - instead
of quoting about 12k of irrelevant text for a 4 line message !
Failure to trim quoted material usually goes with top posting.
As to your question, you tell us.
There is no such thing as "right" or "wrong" - only what it "best
compromise" for your situation.
Your values will mean that for devices which do not request a
specific lease time, they will get a lease of 10 minutes duration
which they will renew about every 5 minutes. If you have a DHCP
failure, then clients will lose their leases and stop working roughly
5 to 10 minutes later.
If a client requests a longer lease, then this rises to renewal every
30 minutes, with connectivity lost between 30 and 60 minutes after
loss of DHCP service.
The upside, and what you are relying on here, is that when a devices
is swapped out, the old lease will expire within these times and then
the new devices will be able to get a lease.
