Iodine monoxide? Iodine dioxide? The same for bromine? Dibromine trioxide? I do not think these compounds exist (except maybe in a frozen matrix at
-200 C or so).
You forget a whole class of more common oxidizers:
- hypochlorites
- chlorites
- chlorates
- iodates
- periodates (for cleavage of C-C bonds between two C-OH parts of molecules)
And why is KNO3 or KMnO4 exotic?

TEMPO is not an oxidizer really... it is a free radical scavenger usually used in combination with oxidizers.
I don't see any molybdates or tungstates. Some chromium oxidizers are more exotic than others.

Barium ferrate (VI) is a good oxidizer as well. It is very easy to make. All I did to make it was dissolve some sodium hydroxide in 5% bleach and then
add some iron III oxide from the hardware store. I let this mixture stir for about two hours and then decanted the pink/purple/red liquid into another
container. I then added a bit of magnesium sulfate for stabilization. Then I added a solution of barium chloride to this. Thus I produced barium
ferrate stabilized in a barium sulfate matrix as a precipitate which supposedly prevents it from reacting with CO2 (from a patent I can't seem to find
at the moment). In order to make the process faster, you could also use calcium hypochlorite (bleaching powder) instead of laundry bleach.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the initial sodium ferrate solution can't be put through a filter. It decomposes upon contact with paper and destroys
glass frits. You can only let the excess of iron III oxide settle and then decant the solution. This will take a bit of time as pigment-grade iron III
oxide is a very fine powder. Neither is filtering the solution after precipitating the barium ferrate advisable. It is monstrously alkaline and will
rapidly eat through paper and will irreversibly damage glass frits.

Other interesting oxidizing agents include Ag III and Ni IV as seen in this article: http://woelen.homescience.net/science/chem/exps/Ni+persulfat...

I am not sure what this list is for. Or what exactly quaslifies as exotic.
But I am going to add FOOF to the list. Dioxygen difluoride. You can read about it in "In the pipeline" by Derek Lowe.
Suffice to say you manufacture the stuff by reacting a stream of monatomic fluorine with oxygen at 700C. (Balls of flint right there.) Then cool to
cryogenic temperatures to make it safe to handle. Safe is a relative term. It reacts explosively with ice at -196C. Quartz becomes a ball of flame. I
have no idea what it is kept in. I am going to guess fluorine-passivated tantalum or something equally unusual. In any case it fits the brief of being
both exotic and oxidising.
Make a video if you ever have occasion to witness this stuff. I am curious but there is no way I would ever approach it close enough to see anything.

NBS is occasionally used as oxidizer

fluorine oxidizers
Potassium fluoromanganate
Potassium fluoronickelate
Potassium fluoroferrate
Potassium fluorochromate
Potassium fluorocuprate
Potassium fluoroiodate
Potassium fluoroplumbate(lead)
Ozone difluoride
And chlorine trifluoride not shure which is stronger
potassium permanganate does not dissolve in many organic solvents. If an organic solution of permanganate is desired, "purple benzene" may be
prepared, either by treating a two phase mixture of aqueous potassium permanganate and benzene with a quaternary ammonium salt
Bismuth pentafluoride is the most reactive of the pnictogen pentafluorides and is an extremely strong fluorinating agent. It reacts vigorously with
water to form ozone and oxygen difluoride, and with iodine or sulfur at room temperature. BiF5 fluorinates paraffin oil (hydrocarbons) to
fluorocarbons above 50 °C and oxidises UF4 to UF6 at 150 °C. At 180 °C, bismuth pentafluoride fluorinates Br2 to BrF3 and Cl2 to ClF.[1]
platinum hexafluoride was the first compound to oxidize molecular oxygen and xenon
Bismuthate oxidizes water
