Update:

It looks like MaaS doesn't release the "dynamic IP" assigned to a node until it is being deployed, so as soon as I deployed the existing 5 machines, the other 5 machines started booting.

To the 5 machines that were enlisted, and are now being deployed, it automatically created a new IP address and set it to "Automatic" in the network list. Thereby removing it from "Observed" which allowed the other nodes to enlist.

That means right now realistically you need an IP address space that is twice as large as the amount of machines in the network if you want to be able to have the machines standing by in the "Ready" state. 1 IP for the Dynamic range, and 1 IP for the host when it goes to "Deployed". This seems like a waste of IP space because if all the machines are deployed 50% of your IP space is no longer used...
