I would guess 3 out of 4 IBM i machines I work on do not have DNS servers specified. 2 of 4 will ping something (like smtp.office365.com) from their PC and create a host table entry on the i for the one IP address that happens to get returned.*shudder*.
In this case they are internal IPs for machines that I'm working with a VPN. I doubt many customers set up their telnet IPs in a DNS. But I can bet some actually do. ..."
Which brings me to the question: Why not? Is it dangerous? Too convoluted? Not nerdy enough, or too nerdy? Dragons be there? On the face of it the use of a naming schema goes a long ways in avoiding typos, confusion, upgrading hassles, and general housekeeping.
