Yes. The "other" alternative is to not protect OPERCMDS (i.e. let everything be authorized), but that's really not a good option.
It's not a difficult process, and for the simplistic stuff you are doing to modify a simple started task, it's just the MVS.MODIFY.STC.** one you have to worry about for now, or you can limit it to just the specific STC via MVS.MODIFY.STC.membername.id where membername is the name of the member containing the JCL source and ID is the actual STC ID. If your JES2 Proc for the task is FRED and the ID of the task is also FRED (which is mostly normal), then the entire profile is "MVS.MODIFY.STC.FRED.FRED". But as I said, for now you can just use MVS.MODIFY.STC.** and that will allow you to modify any started task.
