At the end of the day, it just good to get the defense over with. For me, having accepted the job offer gave me something to work towards as I was finishing things up. I've worked with people who finished up their dissertation revisions and prepared their defense while they were working so it's definitely doable. (I doubt I personally would have been organized enough to make that work but the way things worked out for me, that wasn't an option. Most people are more organized than me in any case.)
Seeding the audience with good questions sounds like a pretty good idea actually. I honestly don't remember who showed up to my defense. I so clearly did not get the extra coolness points though.
