Yes, the ZFS ARC cache is counted as wired memory.

You might want to consider setting a lower vfs.zfs.arc_max in
/boot/loader.conf

The default is all memory less 1GB, or 95% of memory, whichever is more,
and this is likely too high for your usage case. It is infact too high
for every use case except a server that does nothing but act as a file
server.
