First time I've heard that about ZFS, is that really a thing? It was made by Sun to be the ultimate industrial strength FS.

Might be missing a negation, then it's a comparison to btrfs.
Me, I'm waiting for bcachefs - Linux native and carefully designed.

bcachefs will have its share of teething issues. Being merged into mainline is only the first step of a very long journey.
if there is still just one guy working on it, i think it is dead on arrival.
I've been hearing about this bcachefs for ages
Actually just realized all the examples I was thinking of were BTRFS.
Apologies to the ZFS people
No offense taken, I've certainly had a few zfs headaches. But thankfully never anything that couldn't be worked out.

Nonetheless, ZFS definitely gets "angsty" under certain workloads, owing to it being a garbage-collected file system. It's the wrong choice for workloads such as databases which expect the filesystem to essentially "pass through" the performance characteristics of the underlying block device.

xfs is for when you have a big file system, maybe some some unusual loads but you want stability.
zfs is for when you want RAID and snapshots but are prepared to have it blow up every now and then.
