We all have lots of questions about your goals here, but the short
answer to your question is Yes, sysplex is the answer. I assume that
your two boxes are already connected in some way as to share access to
data. Turning such a configuration into a sysplex may require some
additional hardware, but not a lot.
-- If you want a full-function parallel sysplex, you would need to
create an internal coupling facility LPAR (ICF) in each CEC.
-- You would need CF links to connect each ICF to the opposite CEC.

-- I think you would also need server timing protocol (STP) to keep
clocks in synch; I have not tried running without STP.

STP (or earlier sysplex timer) is mandatory for sysplex, even for basic
sysplex.
For production parallel sysplex it is good idea to have standalone CF.

In this case: yes, but to be precise: not if you run a sysplex on 1 box. The 
required 'common time source' can then be the time of that machine.
I thought the recommendation of a standalone CF was not current anymore.

Well, I was suggested by the topic - "two different hardware".
Regarding CF and availability - for availability reasons one should avoid having CF and z/OS LPAR on the same hardware, which means:
a) at least 3 CPCs (of course CF-only box is much cheaper)
b) use CF structures replication which gives some performance penalty, especially for non-local distances.
