I can't really answer about the Jobo (didn't really think of it since I
only use mine for developing film, I don't even have any print drums). I
do, however, use the Jobo for keeping my developer warm. I think you
would get uneven development. I just dumped the developer into the trays
from the Jobo storage containers.

I was using developer warm and clearing at room temp. I didn't have any
problems I could see from this. I'm far from an expert pd/pt printer though
I have gotten some I'm extremely happy with.
