No. Locally Assigned Local Addresses are for talking to
other machines within the locally assigned realm/scope.

Most people really don't care what address a machine has.
They basically only ever use it as a client machine. You
don't need fixed addresses for these machines. You just
need a address that can reach the servers you want to
talk to.
You then have the few servers. For these you decide what
clients they serve and give them addresses to match. These
addresses along with relevent ports for the services they
are offering make it into firewalls, etc.
Servers are also clients so they also use the same techiques
as pure clients when choosing the address they use to initiate
connections.
