Would love to use ZFS, but unfortunately Fedora just cant keep up with it...

Not sure if it helps you at all, but I have a simple Ruby script that I use to build kernels on Fedora with a specified ZFS version.

https://github.com/kaspergrubbe/fedora-kernel-compilation/bl...

It builds on top of the exploded fedora kernel tree, adds zfs and spits out a .rpm that you can install with rpm -ivh.

It doesn't play well with dkms because it tries to interfere, so I disable it on my system.

I've been running Fedora on top of the excellent ZFSBootMenu[1] for about a year. You need to pay attention to the kernel versions supported by OpenZFS and might have to wait for support for a couple of weeks. The setup works fine otherwise.
