Easy Way for ZFS on Mac with Raid?
I wrote ZetaWatch ages ago, but it won't do the setup / installation / pool creation, just some of the administration after that.

Which scheme and format should one use for an external SSD on a Mac?
There is a useful (but not very beautiful) app to put control in the top bar - https://github.com/cbreak-black/ZetaWatch

OpenZFS on OS X
After dabbling with early stuff from the sadly scrapped Apple effort, I started my full time Mac ZFS journey in 2011 with the then Z-410, which then became ZEVO which was 10.8 only, and then staying on that (and in turn 10.8 doho) on a Mac Pro 3,1 for a solid 4 years or so. I was really sad when that effort didn't pan out and the company got acquired and then the whole deal was killed, but O3X revived the torch and I moved directly onto that. I've carried my pool forward continuously the whole way, with snapshots and everything, all data scrubbed and known good with no more data rot. It's a damn shame events (software patents) conspired to keep that from becoming a universal native fs, but it's still a wonderful thing and Lundman's amazing consistent efforts have been fantastic. The main site at https://openzfsonosx.org/ has decently active forums for something niche.
Without Apple on board or a much bigger effort ZFS on the Mac will probably always have some real limitations particularly with the GUI. For one of my desktop systems I've migrated to running my home and data folders as HFS or APFS formatted iSCSI targets, so it's still on ZFS underneath but appears native to macOS (and that also means that the effective death of towers isn't a limit on storage). But this remains an incredible project IMO.
Also for anyone who wants some limited GUI interaction capability, there is a small project called ZetaWatch [0] which will put some ZFS control into a menubar widget.

Automating zfs on external drive
To auto-import and easily export pools on Mac OS, I wrote https://github.com/cbreak-black/ZetaWatch, it can be configured to auto-mount and auto-unlock encrypted datasets too.

ZFS Web GUI
I wrote https://github.com/cbreak-black/ZetaWatch, a ZFS GUI for Mac OS for doing the common jobs: Importing / Exporting pools, unlocking and mounting datasets, starting and monitoring scrubs, and of course looking at the status. I did this in the form of a Menu Bar widget. That makes more sense than a web page, since it's always available / visible.
