Hi Mike: no.
I am thinking of a 1.5 kΩ resistor from +12 v supply rail to the gate and the existing 8.2 kΩ resistor from the gate to 0v. By my calculation, that puts a +ve bias on the gate of about +10 v.: same as with the Zener.
It's a easy change to implement and answers the Q. about the Zener's performance.
