But each to their own I guess.
I was one of the people who rushed to do a ZFS setup on Ubuntu when those capabilities first started appearing ~5 or so years ago. There were some strange bugs that pushed me onto BSD, and the entire time since then since then I've been so stable it almost makes me nervous to try again despite the positive reception of modern ZOL (if it aint broke etc). Seriously, impressively stable.

Development of ZFS-FUSE ceased a few years ago when ZFSOnLinux surpassed it. That said, ZFSOnLinux will likely implement an option to build a FUSE driver in the future, but it is not a priority:
