And I prefer to keep the company's main network traffic off my HMC's network! Same end result, different reason.

Main issue is if the HMC to Power System link is broken, disrupted, etc you lose control. Murphy always makes that happen when you need it most.

If the networks are combined there are MANY more ways to introduce Mr Foo and Ms Bar to the network than if they are separate.

Save money on hardware if you are already running VMware on ESXi 6.0. IBM has a virtual HMC. You may want to create a new network for the HMC <=> Power system network connection. Or you can configure the HMC port on the Power with a static IP and the LAN on the HMC as public not private. That way you do not get a DHCP service running on the HMC. I prefer to keep the network private and keep the chatty traffic off of my main network.

Then there is a NEW CONSOLE in your very near future. I highly recommend
the HMC even if you only have one partition to start. Take my word for it,
it will come in handy, albeit a bit pricey.
