Depends on your circumstances.

I for example want to be able to update my kernel over WLAN using "ipkg 
update" "ipkg upgrade". Therefore ipkg must be able to access the zImage via 
a filesystem --- and the bootloader too.

Maybe you could do run post-install script that copy the zImage to a 
mtd-character device that points to this partition, in this case you can life 
without JFFS2 support in the bootloader.
