I use RECEIVE into an existing data set all the time. I've never seen DCB 
corruption. 

SEND is another matter. Regardless of what you specify, the output is 3120. 
This usermod, which I've heard of but never used, apparently just zeroes out 
the hard-coded 3120 value. XMIT/RECEIVE is waaaay older than SDB.

Clever.  I'll assume QSAM cheerfully deals with whatever BLKSIZE SDB selects.
Is RECEIVE equally happy with it?

But doesn't it still corrupt RECFM or LRECL of an existing data set?

Is the performance gain significant with modern DASD?  I'd care more for 
preserving RECFM and LRECL, even at the cost of TRANSMIT's failing.
