http://conferences.gse.org.uk/2019/presentations/BQ.pdf For pricing on slide 27 1. JES3plus is fully supported, has a road map for enhancements, and can be implemented by existing IBM JES3 customers through a trivial migration and at no additional cost. 2. Initial contract cost will closely match what customers are currently paying for IBM JES3 3. Any subsequent price increases will be in line with the percentage price increases implemented by IBM 4.

That is definitely being considered as an option. It would be interesting to see a cost comparison for JES3 being supported from Phoenix - is there any information available in that regard? But since, I am not involved in the final decision w.r.t. the cost of keeping JES3 (through Phoenix), I am trying to compile this list more from a technical standpoint on the common pitfalls, duration of migration, post migration issues etc for the management to take an informed decision before we get too far down the road.
