IMHO “… ALLOWING for interaction with mainframe resources using familiar tools and scripting languages like UNIX shell commands” should NOT mean EXCLUDING the possibility of using standard JCL methods.
Just my opinion, of course.

Modern Approach: ZOAU leverages z/OS UNIX System Services, allowing for interaction with mainframe resources using familiar tools and scripting languages like UNIX shell commands and Python APIs. This eliminates the need for deep JCL knowledge in many automation scenarios. (Advocacy noted.)
