Running on a VM on a 400mip box doesn't count, no. The information provided to me was that the "smallest" box that had been tested by IBM is a 400+mip one, so the answer is "no", none of those count. I'm frankly kind of astonished that it never occurred to IBM to test on the smallest box they sell for z/OS use, one would think that would have occurred to "someone".
z/OSMF has been used and tested extensively on zPDT and zD&T by various ISVs and others. One of z/OSMF's biggest proponents is Watson & Walker. The last time I saw them live at SHARE, Frank Kyne mentioned at the bottom of slide 40 of https://watsonwalker.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020-09-100-Whats-New-in-Parmlib.pdf that running ZFS inside OMVS took minutes off z/OSMF startup time on their zPDT.
Until Frank mentioned it, I did not even know running ZFS that way was an option...
