XFS has supported reflinks for some time already, just the deduplication is kind of experimental.
Supporting reflinks is actually more, than can be said about ZoL (see zfsonlinux#405).

I think that you're both right - under normal conditions XFS not CoW, but when using the reflink option it does use CoW => kind of a mix.
