My only concern here would be ensuring they actually come from Qing-Pu. 
I'm not sure who made the ones that Tayda sells ( 
https://www.taydaelectronics.com/hardware/3-5mm-plugs-jacks/pj-3001f-3-5-mm-mono-phone-jack.html 
) but I used them on a prototype and they were very bad. The Normalizing 
connection will stop working if a plugged-in patch cable gets some 
sideways strain on it.

I think there's even been threads about this problem before, but it 
always makes me think twice.

Let us know how it works out! Having JLC be able to place those jacks 
would be a beneficial to lots of us I'm sure.
