j2j7 doesn't seem all that decisive. ChessV does like to respond to it likewise (a9a4), but other responses seem OK. I tried a black response if f8e6, then let ChessV compute on this for 15 minutes, reaching a search depth of 23. It responds with j7b7, threatening the Marshall, and thinks white has an 1/8th pawn advantage. So there may be some advantage, and certainly some harassment potential, but it doesn't seem too bad.
