Does it make sense to run zfs on a single disk?

I'm setting up a FreeBSD host over at a Xen provider, with a single 80GB =
disk image. Ideally I'd like to run ZFS on this system, for snapshot and =
flexible creation of filesystems and quotas. Has anyone got any =
recommendations for me in this regard? Am I crazy?
