ZFS is now incredibly stable and durable, with the exception of some of the early non production ZFS on Linux work that is now fixed (and was specifically billed as non prod use). It has seen me through issues that other file systems would have failed on, including drive failures, hard shutdowns, a bad RAM module, SAS card being fried by a CPU water cooler, etc. Years and terabytes just on my systems, zero issues.
In fact one of the tests that Sun did back in the day was to write huge amounts of data to a NAS and pull the power cord mid writing. Then repeated that a few thousand times. It never corrupted the file system.
