IBM (and others) have always said WLM INITs are not a one size fits all solution. What you are confusing is the statement that you should not mix a single SRVCLASS between JES2 and WLM inits. If you separate test and prod SRVCLASSes (as you should) then it makes the move to WLM control easy since you don't have to do it for all at once. You can just change test, then change prod later. That being said, we have such a small requirement for the few prod jobs that use JES2 initiators, I think some of them run in the same SRVCLASS as other "hot" production jobs (if these jobs weren't "hot", they wouldn't have a JES2 init to begin with).
