I used to love pv, but I had ZFS send and recv hang many times when I was using pv in the pipeline and I was never sure why but after I stopped using pv in the pipeline and started using the verbose flag of the ZFS command on the receive side instead which provides enough output for me to see that it’s progressing and haven’t had those kinds of problems since.
Searching now it seems indeed that up until recently this was a problem other people have been having too. For example the recent forum thread https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/zfs-send-hanging.94994/ where they were discussing which version this was fixed in and someone saying that the latest available version to them from the packages was still a bit too old.
