We ran into serious issues in V7R1 with SNADs and SNDDST where an

because QDLS is single threaded and that created havoc with V7R1.

The intended implication is that access to /QDLS must not be done within a multi-threaded process.? Presumably whatever was the issue has since been resolved by a PTF.?

Since I seemed to recall such a discussion, I found the following message [oddly I wrote /QDLO vs /QDLS] where I imply the described failure should result in an APAR to ensure IBM documented the problem and if\what they were offering as resolution:

The topic thread spanned two months:

Certainly it is time to let go of QDLS and SNDDST at least in this
situation. SNDSMTPEMM can send IFS files as attachments without
SNADS.

Sure. But much easier to say than to do; doing that surely depends greatly on the level of dependence on the older features and the resources to effect the necessary changes, as well as if the replacement feature is able to provide the same or equivalent capabilities as the old feature. The old stuff should continue to work on N+1 except whatever is documented in the MTU as being removed or replaced.
