If I’m creating a whitelist for a mobile device on my network and that device is using a randomized MAC, is it going to work at all? How are randomized MACs not a nightmare on small networks?

For IOS devices, by default has “fixed” randomized MAC per network, i.e. each Wireless network you join sees a different MAC, but they’ll stay the same even if you leave and re-join (or even delete and re-add). So, it should not hamper MAC filtering since your AP will see the same MAC from the same device, unless you’re running more elaborate setups like multiple APs (I don’t know how IOS treats that).
This can be changed on a per-network basis in any case, so it is possible to turn it off on the device just for your home network.
