So I could not reproduce the failure you had in your paste (invalid parameter when trying to configure IP address) when I tried this on the master branch.

DHCP would not work on the instance because the MTU was too small to transmit the request:

Starting network: udhcpc: started, v1.29.3
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sendto: Message too long
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sendto: Message too long
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: sendto: Message too long

I'd also assume the response would have never fit in 70 bytes either. This makes me think we need to enforce some MTU minimum since the network/subnet is useless otherwise, but outside that the resolution is to use a larger MTU (or the default).

I will set this as Medium just because I could not trigger any DHCP outage as described above, if you can supply any more information on reproducing that I will revisit.
