POWER was an addon.
Is VSE without POWER almost, but not quite, entirely unlike OS without JES?

If you are running under VM, not so much.
If you are running "bare metal", then yeah.
However, certain JECL commands ("Power directives") will not work
that you need to have working -- they start off like this:
* $$ CLI ______
It has been ages, but as I recall, that was an include from POWER
(not from a library). Well those things just would not happen.
// ASSIGN SYSPRT,00E
This is similar to a DD that would look something like this in MVS:
//SYSPRT DD UNIT=00E
So, you would lose all the "writers" from spool to actual printer
devices. Your JOB running in a Partition (as the are called in
DOS) would use the printer, in this case, as if it owned it. That
is, it would not be writing to spool, it would be driving the
printer directly.
Man, I remember just enough DOS JCL/JECL to be bloody dangerous
-- I haven't touched it since the last VSE/ESA migration I was
involved in (2002-2003?).
