I have only one production z/LINUX and a test z/LINUX that runs just fine with
no IFL. Most of my production is on several z/VSE guests, but I needed a LINUX
for one function... The z--option was better than another INTEL box... Now if I
had a plan to add dozens of z/LINUX an IFL might look more attrictave. ... a

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