The other restriction that really hurts is that SE is restricted to 1 channel.
As for the underlying question whether it is sufficient to run the RMAN catalog
on SE I would assume (but haven't tested) that you ought to be able to have the
RMAN catalog on SE (or even SE one, you don't need more than 2 cpus) to hold
the catalog for EE databases. Since RMAN runs in the target database its
capabilites should be determined by the target database, not the catalog
database - except in the case where you want to back up your catalog with RMAN
since then the target IS the catalog database. However, since the catalog is
rather small (if you are not running anything else in it) none of the
restrictions should be limiting.
