If you use stacked switches, put the PDUs on one switch and the IPMI interface on the other switch, and you will provide reliable fencing in a failed-switch state, too.

Not really. It's not really relevant which node has the fencing device - thats mostly just the node that will check the device is still healthy/correctly configured.
Every node can use the device's configuration when needed.
