No, not really. There's a lot of unavoidable complexity like needing to understand what ZFS pools, vdevs, and datasets are and how they relate to each other. And then if you want to encrypt your data that adds another bit of functionality you need to configure. And then there are just a lot of things that aren't that important for most people, but you won't know if it's important for you until you understand what they are. I would say the learning curve is similar but perhaps a bit steeper than configuring vim for web development for the first time or configuring nginx and let's encrypt on a webserver for the first time. It didn't help that I started by trying to setup root on encrypted zfs. I would recommend first using zfs unencrypted, then adding encryption once you're comfortable with that, and finally trying /home on zfs or even root on zfs.
