If that is where you IPL SAD from, then there is no major issue as the space required is small. You may have to rebuild your SAS IPL text after maintenance or OS upgrade but if you do that after every IPL then there is no issue where the SAD IPL text lives.
If that is where your SYS1.SADMP dataset resides, then it may be too small, unless it is spread over multiple volumes.

Why do we use Distribution library volume dataset while taking a SAD for a z/OS ?
