well, ZFS is still maturing technology - AFAIK one need still UFS at
least for boot partition.
Conclusion is one still needs two filesystem services so it is easy to
use ZFS on separate partition designated for exports.
Though I wouldn't recommend using it for production database of critical
importance yet, I must say that it is perfect for storing exports -
despite of compress option there is built-in consistency checking, so
one can be sure no byte errors in stored files will arise
