If it's only one production system, perhaps not. It takes some effort, and there are implications. As with ARM, CF is not required. We enabled it on our monoplex systems primarily for consistency with our multisystem complexes. Without it, I don't know how much "version" root customization is still required to install a new z/OS release (carry forward system- and shop-specific directories). With it enabled, there is none - everything goes in the Sysplex root). z/OS MVS Setting Up a Sysplex, SA22-7625 is in the z/OS MVS bookshelf. There are sysplex Redbooks (http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/) worth a read.
