Enabling DHCP reservation. Must I reset clients?

I have a basic home network with about 30 client devices all currently using basic DHCP (the usual mix of computers, TVs, phones, smart home devices etc)
I'm going to be getting a new router today (Netgear RAX30) and would like to switch to using DHCP reservation for everything. Any caveats?

What I'm worried about is say device A current has IP 192.168.1.123, and on my new DHCP reservation I set up device B to use that IP address. Will there be issues? Should I power cycle the devices to force a refresh?
