Is management from a VRF to be considered "best practice"?
Increasingly, for many purposes, yes. Note that you can specify a VRF as the destination for NDE NetFlow telemetry, for example.
Also, Cisco's Nexus 7000-series IDC switches allow the control and management planes of the switch to be separated into four Virtual Device Contexts, or VDCs. For the first time, a piece of general- purpose hardware can safely be used to carry both production and OOB management/Data Communications Network (DCN) management-type traffic across the same physical hardware.
