That’s what we do. Primary in the CF, secondary on disk. When we recover to our DR systems, we restart JES and it prompts us that the primary is missing, and do we want to start from the secondary. Can't say we have ever noticed a problem.

This is pretty ancient history, but in the mid-90s when we first went to parallel sysplex, I tried putting the primary checkpoint in the coupling facility. This meant that the secondary checkpoint was the only one mirrored. Or flashed, if we had had that technology then. The secondary is not updated as often as the primary. Just wondering... . .

No issues with JES2 warm start. They are using DS8870 and z/OS 2.2 but have been doing this for years without problems.
