There are some obvious caveats about accessing JES2 private storage control blocks directly which I am sure the OP is aware. On top of those is a consideration that field offsets within these blocks can change at the release and PTF level which can cause any code accessing them to go off the rails. In that aspect, JES2 is way more fluid than z/OS BCP.
In the very old days when SDSF did similar things, we had to have SMPE UCLIN against a large number of SHASMAC entries to cause a reassemble of SDSF when they changed. Running like this was not ideal for either JES or SDSF development teams, so we worked together to use the JES2 SSI for everything we need. I would suggest looking to see if what you are after is available from the SSI and if not maybe raise a request to make it so in a future release.

The first two are in Common; the HCT is of course in JES2's private. NOTPI, no warranty, etc, but I found all the above with a quick glance at the source. Macro $GETADDR appears to provide a somewhat more official way of accessing the HCT and many other blocks, but I don't know how it would work in an ad-hoc environment such as what you will presumably have. Worth a look, though.
