> I've loved seeing the progress of ZoL. Whether I use Ubuntu's prebuilt modules or Debian's DKMS-based setup, it Just Works. But I'm still leery of running Linux with a ZFS root filesystem. I've compromised and use ext4 for root and put my home directory on ZFS.

If you want to use ZFS for root, I can heartily recommend NixOS. I've never had a problem with it there. Of course there are other downsides, but there are plenty of upsides as well.
