It will very likely push up your software costs for all the other LPARs on the same machine if you need to upgrade your standard CPs.
In general, IFLs do not count towards z/OS or z/VM software charging by IBM or ISVs. If you run z/VM and z/Linux in IFLs it is 'a good thing'.

Sure, it will work. But as you've identified, it's pretty much never cost-effective over the long term to do so.
