What are you going to use DFSMS for? ATL management? I ran into this issue but it doesn't affect us. We only use DFSMS for ATL management.
Seemed that if you used all the bells and whistles of DFSMS then you needed 3380s. In addition, I think IBM recommends the use of SFS for all the file areas which means 3380's aren't needed.
