For RaidZ cases, you need to rebalance all the strips, which is non-trivial to do online (you have to make sure if the power cut off during the rebalancing, you don't lose the data). Without rebalancing, I think it can end up with weird corner cases (for example, in RaidZ2 case, if you have the rest 5 disks full and added 1 more disk, you cannot write data into the pool because there is no place for parity. It is not a problem if the disks are balanced).
