I’m not sure if its hacky stuff or not, however there was definitely a little bit of an art to setting up the ZFS stuff – way more involved as compared to a standard Ubuntu quick install from disk.
In terms of boot/root ZFS, I’ve configured two ZFS on root systems with Arch Linux running in a VM on FreeNAS. The Linux systems – no Time Machine rebuild in either system for the last 4 months. The worst performer was FreeNAS share with SMB, followed by FreeNAS share with AFP. I’ve unfortunately had some problems with the Time Machine backups needing to be recreated. Test systems were FreeBSD jail on FreeNAS running AFP server, FreeBSD jail on FreeNAS with SMB share, Xcp-NG Arch Linux VM running AFP, XCP-NG Arch Linux VM running SMB. In terms of SMB, my only comparison was setting up a share to use with my Macs Time Machine. Kind of get where you are coming from with the FreeNAS arena - I have a 60TB unit and I love it – but it definitely has its quirks, and its far from a set it up, and walk away type of scenario.
