Pete,
All my PTFS will already be loaded and applied, I'm using DSLO combined imaged, all LPP and latest PTFs.

While you certainly want INZSYS to finish before doing the Save, if I IPL to restricted, then I just run the INZSYS myself. I do so many upgrades, that each one has its own sense of unique characteristics. Nothing wrong with that.

And I think you'd probably want the INZSYS to finish prior to "the full backup before returning the system to the users".

I do not think that CHGIPLA to bring the system up restricted during an upgrade is recommended. When do you have it fire off the INZSYS? After the cume IPL?

Jobs remain in the job scheduler between OS releases.
Perhaps the best way is to do a CHGIPLA, and start the system up
restricted. This way you only have the console up and you can do what you
need after the upgrade (Like Apply PTFs, or do a full backup before
returning the system to the users). I wrote an article last month in my
System admin Tips and Techniques newsletter on just this:

Subject: V6R1 to V7R1 i5/OS upgrade questions
1) Can future scheduled jobs remain in the jobq across a V6R1 to V7R1
i5/OS upgrade?
2) Is the simplest way to prevent AJS (Advanced Job Scheduler) jobs from
running during or after the upgrade is to hold or end the AJS monitor as
opposed to holding or omitting next run of individual jobs?
Thank You
