If you are running a stable version, it works fine, yes. However, having zfs outside the mainline kernel is a bit of a pain. There are frequent breakage in kernel APIs, and the ZFS on Linux project always plays catch-up with these changes. Also, they have to maintain compatibility with various versions of the kernel APIs, and it's probably not an easy job for them. I know it's asking for trouble, but at home, I'm running a server with ZFS under Debian Sid (so basically a rolling release), and each kernel update is a little risky. Each time I upgrade, I pray saint Linus, but that's not always enough, it happens quite often that the zfs or spl module fails to build.
