If you rule out CPU and MEMORY about the only thing left you want to consider consumption of is I/O which they do.
Here is what we record currently perhaps that will help your consideration. I do record type 99 records and retain them for 5 days. I needed them once and it was worth having them when IBM asked for them.

I don't have neither the VSAM SMF records ON nor the CICS record ON. I run about 10k+ Jobs daily and I have about 25 production CICS regions. My config are one 2084-303 and one 2084-304 running about 85% capacity.
