You can also have a special metadata only/ small files dedicated special VDEV. ZFS can pull of many tricks if you configure it well. Of course, the L2ARC is better, if you don't trust the caching device that much (e.g. only have a single SSD).

You can also configure an L2ARC to only hold metadata, which is safer than a metadata device.
