OK, here's my scenario.  If my laptop is with me, I want it connect to
the networks I trust and use dynamic addresses.  If my laptop is at
work, I want to be able to ssh into the firewall, ssh into the laptop
and do something with it remotely, which can include reboots.  Besides,
I don't like to leave systems with me logged in.  I don't care if the
laptop is using a dynamic address at work, as the laptop would get a
specific IP address, and if it gets some other address, I'll find it
easily (trying a couple of addresses beats driving to the office, that's
for sure).
