It is (or was) a product management decision on the Plus series (any xSnnnE[P[P]]) - coming from hardware limitations on earlier Plus series models - not requiring a management VLAN. Needless to say, beyond the obvious security impact, it's very unhandy if a switch management can pick-up IP addresses from different VLANs and IP subnets.
Some advanced models like certain XS512EM/XS724EM have it, other coming-up MultiGig MSxxxE[P|UP] are promised to get the management VLAN feature after the product release on a maintenance version. No idea if this will be possible for the GS3xxE[P[P]] models like the 305, 308 and 316, too.

All Smart Managed switches (GS|MS|XSnnnT[...], earlier designated Smart Manged Pro) and of course all fully managed switches are supporting a real management VLAN out of the box. Model selection depends on the PoE standard and total bower budget.
