Pretty sure this is no longer true for RAIDZ as well, though the space usage is non-optimal at first, until files are read/written enough (it fixes itself over time).
No idea if this has filtered through to mainstream release yet, but it was announced almost 18 months ago.

- reportingsjr 4y agoWhen I built my home storage server I made a mistake, and thought I could fit an additional drive, but I ran out of SATA ports.
