[scale] grub loading, no such device, unknown filesystem
It looks like the boot-pool on the original SSDs just got flat out destroyed when installing the new copy on the usb stick. I used this recovery image from here: https://github.com/nchevsky/systemrescue-zfs/releases and booted the system with all disks installed. 'zdb -e boot-pool' spit out a load of unneeded stuff and a list of the most recent zpool commands run on the pool. What do you say, zpool destroy was the last command run on it at the time of the usb installation... One 'zpool import -Df boot-pool' later the pool was visible again. 'zpool export boot-pool' and a reboot later the system once again boots into the original install.

Is GhostBSD a good Livecd to test FreeBSD hardware compatibility?
helloSystem 0.7.0 https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/releases/tag/r0.7.0 is based on 13.0-RELEASE, although I don't know whether it's the best barometer for telling whether a driver will work with 13.0-RELEASE without helloSystem,

helloSystem 0.7.0 released, FreeBSD 13 based, Live ISO boots 3x as fast
That's a bug then. Please do open an issue at https://github.com/helloSystem/ISO/issues/ and ideally please run the Hardware Probe utility and mention the URL it gives you in the GitHub issue. This way we can hopefully see why Apple keyboard autodetection fails in your case.

A curiosity question - are there any distros that are heavily GUI focused with very minimal or no CLI requirements?
The only free software OS I've seen trying to entirely avoid CLI, even for troubleshooting, is helloSystem by the AppImage format's creator, and that's a FreeBSD derivative rather than a Linux distribution.
