Hmmm... well, complication is in the eye of the beholder. Installing
root on ZFS is more work, certainly. Mostly because sysinstall doesn't
support it (but the PC-BSD installer does). Once it is set up, it's no
more bother than root on UFS during normal use, and personally I'd say a
pure ZFS system is simpler and cleaner than a hybrid UFS/ZFS setup[*].
The whole deal with updating gptzfsloader is a thing you only need to
worry about on rare occasions; typically only during version upgrades.
Unless you're tracking a dev branch or running experimental code.
8.1-RELEASE has v13. 8.2-RELEASE will have v15. 9.0 and 8.3 will
probably have v28 -- it's anybodies' guess after that, given Oracle's
actions over OpenSolaris.
Cheers,
Matthew
[*] There's a good argument for a system with root on ZFS and data on
UFS, as a DB server -- ZFS is not the best performing filesystem for the
sort of small randomly located IOs that RDBMSes generate.
