    I don't think you can run ZFS on any Pi older than a 4 (even then only with non-base-model RAM). I also like and use ZFS, but I run BTRFS on all my Pis and it's been solid for years on end, whether SD card or SSD.

    Benefits in this context would include checksumming, compression, snapshot + incremental send, built-in kernel support (which is why I use it as root filesystem even on machines that use ZFS for data integrity), very flexible RAID1 setups, the option for DUP data on an SDcard (still unclear to me if this would improve odds of recovery in case or error or just increase the odds of corruption in the first place).

    ZFS may be king in many / most scenerios, but I've been very happy with my Pi on BTRFS root that I've used with Ubuntu server, Raspbian, and now NixOS[0], on Pi 2/3/4.
