Brian, No, it wasn't a bad move. Most shops have it that way and the fine manual even recommends that it be set up that way. See below:
The DFSMShsm log data sets provide DFSMShsm with information about events on a particular processing unit and about commands that are entered with the LOG command. The DFSMShsm log records this information in chronological order. However, the SMF and the problem determination aid data sets already record much of the information in the log. If you already are keeping SMF and PDA data and you do not have an ISV product that needs to directly scan the LOGX/LOGY files, it is recommended that you do not maintain LOGX/LOGY files. Specify DD DUMMY and use the HOLD LOG command. In the past, I have set it up both ways. If you do not mind my asking, why do you care who recalled a dataset?

I didn't want the extra hassle of setting up an archiving procedure for them when one was already in place for SMF. Was that a bad move? Is it better to use the logs?
