I like your thinking. I do the same except I also have tapes with just ICKDSF on them. During an
emergency you never want to go looking for a copy of ICKDSF. Or try to remember where you put it.
So, put it everywhere. :)

My away kit has two copies of an IPLable tape, first file is ICKDSF, second
file is DDR, third file is a DDR backup of a small one pack z/VM system.
I also have both of these utilities on the PARM disks of all of my z/VM
systems.
Belt, suspenders, superglue if I can...

We are looking into updating our procedures should a failure requiring

Do you recommend having a single IPL tape with both versions on it?
Do you recommend an IPL tape for each product?
Do you recommend running them from an area within the ZVM PARM disk(s)?
None of the above?
Both of the Above?
Something not mentioned above?
Wrong question asked??
We are running Z/VM 5.2 on a Z890 processor with a DS8100 for our dasd.
It always pays to nudge the experts on matters such as this.
