I don't mind the recipe as written if you're not planning on getting a lot of flavor directly from the yeast. It will be there among the hops but most of what you're going to get is the dryness from the yeast and over time some of the brett flavor, if you use WLP670, will emerge. If you want the yeast to be more present in the flavor and aroma then you will need to back off on some of the hops.

I currently have a Belgian pale ale in which about half the hops are jarrylo. Coming out of the hop stand there was definitely that fake banana/plastic flavor everybody talks about. After fermentation the plastic flavor seems completely gone and the banana is more subdued against the other hops. So maybe not as awful of a hop as I was led to believe. It's not my favorite hop but seems to work well enough in combination with other milder fruity hops.
