You are correct... the capabilities flags for the QDIO simulation indicate

I think, the best way is install new system from zero, then mount old
volumes and copy only files that you need. Not old system librarys and

Also, you can compile new kernel and s390-tools under old system. I did it.
Then, create new dasds and copy your old volumes like
