"mode server is not set" could still be like 15 different ways to run
your setup...
"Float" is expected to work in plain p2p mode (both sides in mode p2p,
one side using tls-server, the other side tls-client, or even with static
keys). In my t_client test set 9 (udp, mode pdp, static key mode), it
works nicely. Tested every day.
If it's not working, please provide exact server config and logs that
show a roaming client (= IP address change without a client restart)
not being recognized.

The server needs to know which address the client has. So if you do
not push, you need to set up an iroute in the ccd/ file to tell the
server "which client has what address". Or do "ifconfig-push" in the
ccd/, which will make it push *and* install the appropriate iroute
(and looks less surprising).
And this is expected to work, and part of my test set (mostly due to a
very convoluted tap-with-vlan setups where the pool handling is not
flexible enough).
