But many shops have parallel sysplexes and don't do any real data sharing. In those environments sharing engines on a CF can be perfectly acceptable - especially with the speed of a z990 or z9 engine. It is certainly acceptable for development environments also. So to answer the OP (which is hard to do without more information), you can start with a swag based on the relative activity in the different sysplexes and look at RMF reports. For example, 80/20 or 70/30 for production / development.
