That will be fine. As an alternative, you can now IPL from 1.8 and if the
correct templates aren't there, temporary ones will be used. After you have
done some initial testing you can run IRRMIN00 UPDATE from a 1.8
system without the STEPLIB. I think this has been true since 1.6.

I've always run the update from the driving system, using the new
templates as soon as they were available, even if the newer system
wasn't running yet. Long ago I questioned the RACF support staff about
this. I was assured that a down-level RACF simply ignored any templates
that it didn't understand.
