I have some house guests who brought devices that randomize their macs

Is there a way that I can tag hosts that don't provide a name so that I
can provide a custom/shorter lease time?
You could approach this from the opposite direction and set the default
lease time short, but extend it for your machines.
You can set the lease time for individual hosts in --dhcp=host:
dhcp-host=<MAC Addr>,24h
Or just make your hosts "known" with
dhcp-host=<Mac Addr>
and define dhcp ranges with different lease times based on the "known" tag
dhcp-range=tag:known,192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,24h
dhcp-range=tag:!known,192.168.0.2,192.168.0.254,2h
