Proxy ARP and Subnetting a Subnet

I am looking over how to split up a /16 network with a mix of static and dynamic addresses into smaller /24 networks. All addresses share the same gateway.

The proxy ARP feature looks promising for use during the transition period to the new sunet/VLANs. It would reduce downtime while changing end devices and make the move a bit smoother. However most of my searching has seen this feature negatively as it could cause problems with transitioning devices.

Has anyone had experience splitting such a large subnet and would proxy ARP be viable?
