I can, and have, installed other drivers (FWB, Silverlining) on Jaz
cartridges; as long as the cartridge is in the drive when the Mac
boots, it'll see it and use it.  I see no difference though, in the
amount of problems with the drive, with whatever driver I use.  Note,
too, that if I run the Iomega Guest utility (provided I start up with
no cartridge in the drive), it doesn't matter what driver is on the
cartridge, it'll use the Iomega driver.
