[openstack][neutron] it is good if we set fixed ip and set ip in instance netplan also

That's depending on your use-case. We have two types of VMs in our  
cloud, production VMs and the rest (self-service tenant networks). All  
production VMs are in provider networks, launched with config-drive  
and independent of the control plane. So as long as the compute nodes  
and the network infrastructure are running we can work, the less  
important VMs are not reachable during that time, of course, but it  
doesn't really hurt anybody.
So if you have machines that are required to work independent of  
network nodes (control nodes) you should consider using such provider  
networks. Or move the VMs to those networks if you already have been  
using provider networks.
