I have no doubts about an experienced DBA making decisions of this nature because he or she will accept responsiblity for making sure that nothing important is broken as a consequence.

Although it wasn't clear from my reply, I was actually directing my question to the OP, in the usual vein of, "before you decide the solution is ["fill_in_the_blank", or, in this case, "don't install JVM"], what is the problem you are trying to solve?" Or in other words, why do you ask?
