Not an arch user but a zfs user. I skip zfs on root , except on FreeBSD because that is the most solid. For Linux info a basic raid 1 for root and boot and create a zfs mirror on the other drives. Normally I have 6 drives (mirror plus the 2 os drives). I then take some space on the os drives to create a slog mirror for zfs. The heavy usage comes on the zfs mirror anyway the os is really just there to power vms.
