I guess that depends on what you're using volume pools for in the first
place.  What do you lose in your environment by removing them?

The main purpose behind them is volume segregation.  Easily preventing
certain data from being on the same volume as other data.  Ease of
reporting/identification is a plus as well.  Depending why you're doing
these (and the particulars), you might be able to come up with
alternatives.

Creative use of different retention policies (which use separate tapes
by default) and scripting for identification can help.
