Isn't Lustre designed specifically for ZFS as its backing filesystem?

  No, Lustre shipped on ext4 for years and years. Not an expert, but IIRC there aren't any core/major/whatever features in ZFS being leveraged in an irreplaceable way. Again, ZFS works fine, it's there (so is btrfs). Use it if it does something you like. It's just not really "worth" the level of complexity involved, and the window has long since closed for fancy filesystems to change any major paradigms of computation. This is dinosaur technology, basically.
