I have worked on numerous systems that never had SYSALLDA setup in HCD or ALLOCxx and never had a problem running TSO BATCH. The default for generic for DASD is 3390 that has no ESOTERIC assigned to it. I tired a Randy's job on Zos14 and a Zos17 and it ran fine without any SYSALLDA in esotrics or a ALLOCxx and without adding the unit to the JCL.

If that's not defined in your gen, it would explain the failure. A browse thru HCD would be interesting.
