I thought UDEV and/or ASMLIB were recommended to ensure persistent device

I have certainly seen RAC environments fall over when new LUNS were presented 
that caused the device names to switch and so messed up a rawdevices 
configuration which meant voting disks and OCR files were not where they were 
supposed to be.
