jump_to_low_kernel() and the functions that it calls will already or
64 bit addressing into the reset psw mask when executing
jump_to_IPL_2() after the diag308 subcode 1.

The kernel proper is then branched to rather than doing a full PSW
change.

But there is also a check in jump_to_low_kernel that could be affected
by your change:

    if (*((uint64_t *)0) & RESET_PSW_MASK) {
        jump_to_IPL_code((*((uint64_t *)0)) & PSW_MASK_SHORT_ADDR);
    }

... but I assume that there should not be any kernels out there in the
wild which do not have these bits set, so I think your modifications
here should be ok.

The mask needs to have the short bit indication set so it needs to be !=
0 anyway, no?

That's true. If there were still broken images out there, they should
have stopped working since commit 104130cb7c106378da anyway.
