> I've heard too many people complaining about issues with zfs on linux I think this is mostly related to Root on ZFS, which is pretty standard in the FreeBSD world, but not very stable in the Linux world. If you want to use ZFS on linux I would recommend you to put your linux root on ext4 (or something similar battle tested) and create a ZFS pool on the remaining disks.

Used ZFS on Linux on NixOS as root for 2.5 years without any issues. NixOS does have good integration though, including automatically-run OS tests that verify that there are no regressions in ZFS support.
