NO.

Probably not.  But the recommendation is to not place anything on couple data 
set volumes but the couple data sets (see "MVS Setting Up a Sysplex").  

If the access is low and nothing would ever reserve the volume by accessing
the PARMLIB, then it shouldn't be a problem.   But isn't there a better 
place (like IODF volume that is also shared)?
