Measuring the performance of a monolithic RAID-Z array for a VM image workload is like measuring the 0-60 time of a semi tractor. That's not what that configuration is optimized for. Especially for a high IOPS workload, you should see much better performance with a pool of mirrors.
Your requirements sound similar to my home network. In my case how I orchestrated the spinning rust ended up being a lot less important than getting the random access parts of my workload on an NVMe SSD. Best $40 upgrade I ever made.
