Some points I think bear some clarification wrt current zfs state:
- current versions of zfs (ie: openzfs) error (unless forced) when adding non-redundant devices to a redundant pool, and have device removal to handle the case where someone bypasses the error.
- pools can grow in zfs (ie: the things one allocates storage out of). what is probably being referenced here is that one can't reshape a zraid vdev to add more disks to it (basically the reshape operation in classic raid setups). This does make expanding in some cases less flexible that old-style raid setups.
Also, I really have to agree that ARC behavior is still not great under load, and I don't think that's that much of an edge case.
