My thinking was if anything logs into the domain it will take the server DHCP IP address range and wifi devices from the router DHCP IP range.
I think this is wishful thinking. On startup, the ethernet devices essentially broadcast a plea over the network, "Who can give me an IP address?" and pick one of the responders. IIRC, the first to answer, but no guarantee who.
It appears it is a bad idea to have 2 DHCP servers but not sure if this will stop the tablets and smartphones getting a connection.
It sounds like a bad idea to me.
Is there a reason why you can't just turn off the DHCP server on the Win 2012 box?
