So even if I missed the condition in testing, the production code
would fail, we execut sp_procxmode on the proc and re-run the job.

Is it a bad thing to blanketly sp_procxmode all procs ahead of time?

Yeah, but since 99.9999% of our coding is Perl, I don't worry about
J/ODBC. I might just build with default off to save myself the hassle.
