If you are running a parallel sysplex, you will probably have an easier time of this.
Yes, you could have an issue with spool space and long-running jobs; you can use the SPIN capability of JES to avoid this problem, though. The more human involvement in your IPL procedures, the more trouble you are likely to have at IPL time, be it weekly, monthly, or whatever. Consider automating as much of the process as you can while allowing control points for technical personnel to jump in during the process for those times when something different needs to be done.
