"appliance mode" should really be called non-gateway as opposed to gateway.
In gateway mode xsce provides dhcp leases as well as routing and name
resolution and none of these in appliance mode.

Does this really happen? Wouldn't it be better to fix XSCE so that
the DHCP server is "not authoritative"?
dhcpd.conf(5) on a system here says
" The authoritative statement
authoritative;
not authoritative;
The DHCP server will normally assume that the configuration
informa‐
tion about a given network segment is not known to be correct and
is
not authoritative. This is so that if a naive user installs a
DHCP
server not fully understanding how to configure it, it does not
send
spurious DHCPNAK messages to clients that have obtained
addresses
from a legitimate DHCP server on the network."
