You can increase the usable space by increasing vfs.zfs.spa_slop_shift:

fk@r500 ~ $sysctl vfs.zfs.spa_slop_shift
vfs.zfs.spa_slop_shift: 6
fk@r500 ~ $zfs list tank
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
tank   190G  34.4G   136K  /tank
fk@r500 ~ $sudo sysctl vfs.zfs.spa_slop_shift=3D7
vfs.zfs.spa_slop_shift: 6 -> 7
fk@r500 ~ $zfs list tank
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
tank   190G  36.2G   136K  /tank
