Do you run into problems other than that it complains about it?

Use multiple parmlines.  There's the older Lucius Leland PARM LINE
stuff, which I really like, which lets you do it very flexibly from CMS,
and there's also actual official multiboot support in newer s390-tools.
Keep a read-only and a read-write version around, and IPL the one
appropriate to the occasion.
