really start to worry when it’s 169.254.0.x

That just means the DNSDHCP is disabled.

Edit: words

That is not what that means, it means there's no dhcp on that network segment.
In my defense, whenever there’s a networking issue, it’s always DNS related.
DNS being down is why the DHCP server didn't start ;)
I can totally see dnsmasq causing this sort of thing.
