"As I understood it, if my (zfs) dataset is encrypted then rsync.net only sees the name of the snapshot and the encrypted data."
Prior to encrypted datasets in ZFS we did, in fact, have a stopgap measure where we would create your zpool on top of GELI devices such that it was, in fact, encrypted - but we held the keys. This was for HIPAA compliance and such things.
Currently, we run the latest stable/release ZoL codebase which includes bona fide encrypted ZFS datasets where you hold the key and we see nothing.
That being said, we do have a 4TB minimum[1] for these zfs-send enabled accounts where you get your own zpool ... so a smaller account with the (excellent) borg utility is a better bet for most individual users.
