If you still have a bootpool, you can migrate to a single pool (so boot
environments work), using these instructions:
https://ftfl.ca/blog/2016-09-17-zfs-fde-one-pool-conversion.html

If the pool would boot without GELI, it still will with GELI, however,
if you use any of the newer features not supported by the boot loader,
then it will not be able to read the kernel from the boot (encrypted or n=
ot)
