Yes, the majority of our Solaris servers (thousands) at my workplace use
ZFS on a single disk (particularly the root disk).  We do this solely
for convenience (ZFS offers a lot of management advantages), and
consistency.

At home, I also use FreeBSD ZFS with single disks.  I still do not trust
ZFS-on-root when it comes to FreeBSD.
