I have examined all the counterarguments against ZFS myself and none of them have been confirmed. ZFS is stable and not RAM-hungry as is constantly claimed. It has sensible defaults, namely to use all RAM that is available and to release it quickly when it is used elsewhere. ZFS on a Raspberry Pi? No problem. I myself have a dual socket, 24 Core Intel Server with 128 GB RAM and a virtual Windows SQL Server instance running on it. For fun, I limited the amount of RAM for ZFS to 40 MB. Runs without problems.
