I agree that the main object of the HC was to alert for an over-threshold situation.
But 'logging' in HC by VERBOSE YES is not an elegant way. That is what SMF was invented for: log information for the sake of logging it, just because it might be needed (weeks/months) later. I will wait what the answer in the PMR will be, maybe they direct me to the correct route.

It did tell you. By the check messages. The main thought was that the important situation to tell you about was when trimming is happening too much. Thus the health check exception message is the right way to tell you. You can use the VERBOSE(YES) option of the health check to request showing of the information for all the classes, not just those that are in exception. Further, even previous health check information remains available through the logstream. So some of the rationale for "needing" it in SMF is a bit weak. >I already opened a PMR for adding the info to SMF 41-3. A PMR is not the right vehicle these days for requesting new function. Given that RFE is available, I would not bet that IBM level 2 will convert PMR's to RFE's any longer. They might, I just don't know.
