Should I be using zfs replicate, mirror, or something else entirely?
Sanoid/syncoids been mentioned but honestly for once a week learning by doing . Pyznap also excellent when you want to automate. https://github.com/yboetz/pyznap

Vdevs and snapshots?
In contrast, zfs snapshots are immutable, and thus anything short of a hardware failure can be addressed with a simple zfs rollback command. This includes deliberate, accidental, and malicious actions. They can also be automated (I personally use pyznap but syncoid is also quite popular), creating what is effectively an incremental backup. I maintain - for each dataset - 24 hourly, 7 daily, 6 monthly, and 1 yearly snapshot. Additionally, I have a wholly separate server that wakes up once a day to ingest these snapshots via zfs send/recv, so even if I made a horrible mistake or suffered a catastrophic hardware failure, I could completely restore from the other server. This last point brings snapshots firmly into the realm of backups, IMO.

Sanoid for snapshots management?
Another favorite option is Pyznap, which is python based and originally created to have have a few features and changes compared to sanoid. The author is also active here on reddit. I and not sure what the differences are anymore, it'll come down to trying them and preference.

A small script to wake up a node that doesn't like to boot
I have two Supermicro X9 2Us, each with Proxmox. One has allegedly existed solely as a backup target, which wakes up daily to ingest ZFS snapshots using pyznap. Unfortunately, for reasons which are unclear, this particular node doesn't always like to see its boot device, which is an NVMe drive. It's the exact same board as my primary, with the exact same modified BIOS to allow booting from NVMe. It usually takes 2-3 cycles before it'll see it and boot.

Pros/cons of visible dataset for backups vs. only snapshots
I have two nearly identical systems, both running Proxmox, with Debian VMs. One is a backup, which (once this is worked out) will wake up daily to ingest incremental backups. I'm using pyznap to handle the backup strategy.

Show HN: Multi-monitor KVM using just a USB switch
For software KVM you can use https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
I use it between a Windows PC & a Macbookpro (Linux version available but I don't have Linux)

Wayland vs. X – Overview
libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?
For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through
And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.
Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?
With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.
Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier

KVM Switch for Gaming and WFH
I have a similar gaming/WFH setup (2 monitors at 1440p 144hz) and I’ve been using Barrier instead of a physical kvm, and it works really well. Not sure if you’re open to a software kvm but if you are, I’m happy to answer any questions about it if you have any.

Autoswap Keyboard Layouts based on Operating System
Have you tried Barrier? I casually used it to swap between my main rig and my MBP. Took a minute to get it setup but once I sorted it all out it worked pretty well. It has some settings and tweaks built in to address some of the layout issues you mentioned...

IT/programming multi-monitor setup? (coming from 6x old 21" square)
Sorry, probably not entirely on topic and can't answer anything reliable about the multimonitor stuff, but a tip regarding the 2 mice and 2 keyboards for the 2 different computers: use this: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier It's oss multi-os software that lets you use one mouse and keyboard (server) on several PCs (clients) easily over your LAN.
