Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS
I've used OpenZFS on OSX (https://github.com/openzfsonosx/openzfs#readme) and it's been better to me for cross-os drive sharing than NTFS or UFS, despite their warnings about using it on USB devices
I hear you about a ZFS root partition, though

How to partition an external ssd for linux file system?
Maybe OpenZFS but you need to know what you're doing, my advice is to use a VM to access the EXT4 partition then use the VM to transfer data, use a friendlier' FS like exFAT/FAT32 or use a network storage protocol like SMB/NFS etc. (that needs an additional system like a pi4 or something.)
