I've never used a Cisco device as a DHCP server, so you're on your own setting up the tftp stuff . 

Glad its working

Well it's my home network and it seems sensless having a L3 switch doing very little so doing the routing (obviously) and DHCP on it and leaving the baby ASA5505 to just be a firewall so it doesn't get too tired  Ultimately it's just a live lab environment really!

Every time I simplify my home network, it soon ends up in a mess again .  I have the broadband router doing some of the vlan routing and all the NAT where required, a L3 switch doing some more of the routing (between some 10Gb segments), and some Linux hosts doing the more complex routing.

I have 2 24port gig-E switches, one 26port gig-E, one 10Gb, and some smaller ones dotted in various places like behind the telly (who'd thought 19yrs ago that 2 ethernet for the telly wouldn't be enough ).  And always struggling for spare ports

As I dislike WiFi for all but basic laptop in the lounge use, I too have everything wired and wired docking stations for my work and own laptops in the man cave.

I would have thought a switch built into smart Tv's would be standard by now so you could patch the various TV boxes everyone has in.

I reckon they will go the other way, and remove the ethernet port, and rely on the junk that is Wifi.  With all the security implications that brings.

Yep, I reckon the ethernet magnetics are a cost they'd love to eliminate, sadly.
