More than 10 years in my case. I've run ZFS on production systems on Solaris, OpenSolaris, Nexenta, FreeBSD (vanilla, not FreeNAS) and, more recently, Ubuntu. Never had an issue.
That said, I did once run into an issue running ZFS on ArchLinux which caused data loss. That was a highly experimental set up though and was before ZoL really took off (incidentally I've also run Btrfs on ArchLinux and that also caused me data loss).
Hopefully I'm not jynxing things saying this, but ZFS has saved me from excessive downtime on a number of occasions. It has even recovered from corrupted superblock failures (when a RAID controller was faulty and randomly dropping devices during heavy load).
