What would ZFS do for those issues? I guess maybe deduplication, but otherwise I'm not thinking of anything that you can't do with mount --bind and overlays (and I'm not even sure ZFS would replace overlays)

Snapshots seems to be a cheap feature in ZFS but are expensive everywhere else, for example.
OverlayFS has had performance issues on Linux for a while (once you start composing a bunch of overlays, the performance drops dramatically as well as you start hitting limits on number of overlays).
Nowadays the ZFS advantage for snapshots is no longer true.
Other file systems, e.g. the much faster XFS, have equally efficient snapshots.
