Is there  a check list of parameters that I would need to change to
accommodate fewer  or no IPLs?  Are there control blocks I would need to
be concern  with?  Will I now run into spool space issues with long
running system  tasks?

Guess your biggest issue is currency and storage creep. Six months  is the 
life cycle of new releases. So if you've got the resources to do  parallel 
testing on new/test/current and resolve the imcompatibilities no  problem. Then 
to 
monitor storage creep of bleeders and free bleeders might be  invoking the 
name of the unscheduled IPL due to gobbled up storage. RMFPP is  pretty good at 
tendencies, but can't predict new workloads or  applications.
 
We had one a couple years back where we thought we had downsized ciriculum  
tracking to a middleware solution only to find the end-user much preferred the  
host application for manipulating the numerous feeds/feeder programs so they  
were up/down/up/down loading complete data base nightly to keep in  SYNC.
