It made a lot of sense for Apple to adopt ZFS back when they were shipping spinning rust hard disks and PowerMacs had room for multiple drives, but now that they're shipping soldered-in integrated flash drives with their own storage controller in the SoC, it probably makes more sense to them to put features like encryption and error correction in their storage controller rather than the file system, and then have a file system which is far more lightweight (so they can ship the same FS on a wristwatch as on a 20-core Mac).
APFS does have snapshots but I don't think it has replication.
Time Machine is so bad and has seen so little work, I feel like Apple really wants to drop it and move everyone to iCloud subscriptions instead. And yet they still don't have a cloud backup product, which is even stranger.
