Applying encryption to ZFS retroactively?
Take a recursive snapshot. Use the right send/recv options to get everything to the new pool and maintain encryption. You might try https://github.com/rlaager/zfs-replicate but seriously, I have not tested exactly this scenario, it might break, and if it does, you get to keep the pieces (don't blame me). If you go this route, I'd love to hear if it worked.
