Except the original poster wants to REDUCE z/OS cycles and cost, not
INCREASE them.
I imagine that running commercial software inside a penguin on z/OS
would not require a z/OS licence any more than it does when the
penguin's running on z/VM. A penny saved is a penny saved.
How well it stacks up depends on lots of variable for which I don't have
values, nor an algorithm to assess them.

I imagine it's possible to port Linux to z/OS. I'm thinking here of the
user-mode-linux model, where the kernel's "hardware" is provided in the
host OS.
It would need tty devices, those could be implemented via telnet (or
maybe ssh for the security-conscious).
DASD, to run from, could be a VSAM dataspace or dataset.
Imagine
//penguin exec pgm=linux,parm='netconsole=....'
//boot dd dsn=penguin.boot,disp=shr
//root dd dsn=penguin.root,disp=shr
//home dd vol=ref=penguin.home,disp=old An entire disk
//* more DASD
//sysprint dd sysout=* kernel log
//sysin dd * more kernel/initrd parms
