  • The only limitation I know is WOL doesn’t work after a power outage, because the switch and RPI doesn’t know where to find the target machine

    maybe, but the pi does not need to know that, only the mac address and the interface. the switch doesn’t need to know either because it’s a broadcast frame, it’s forwarded to all cables. the problem sometimes is that if you configure WOL from linux, the network adapter will probably forget on power cycling that it is supposed to react to magic packets. I think not all hardware is susceptible to that, but even then it could help to configure WOL in the BIOS
