This is no different on the NBN than it is for anyone who has, over the
last however many years ADSL and HFC cable services have been offered,
connected their internal network to an ISP-supplied ADSL/HFC router which
provides DHCP services.

If you understand networks enough to recognise the risks, chances are
you're not relying on your ISP to hand out your DHCP leases.  If you don't
understand, you don't know what you don't know, and are in the same
situation you've always been on.
