I don't think they really need the two pool model, booting off efi(fat32) can load the modules, and importing the pool can be handled by the initrd. At least that's how I've been doing it on gentoo for years.
Edit: handcuffing yourself to grub seems pointless. Not to mention, grub is controlled by oracle devs who want nothing to do with zfs support and have actively ignored bringing the grub zfs in line with openzfs mainline.

- nubinetwork 4y agoThis sounds cool, but it would take a fair amount of changes for me to use it, since I bake the cmdline into the kernel and boot the kernel directly from the efistub. Maybe I'll check it out some day though.
