You can do layer 2 traffic of a PA firewall, there isnt an issue with that. The general rule of thumb should be the palo alto firewall views as much traffic as possible. So if your question is should the layer 3 gateway be on the firewall itself or not, having the l3 gateway on the firewall itself would allow the firewall to view and take action on more traffic but that would ultimately be a business decision and depend on how your environment is set up.
