I've got the same setup and just have to "online" the usb key after boot.

As for the zil/log device, I think it should be supported in the
upcoming ZFS v28 patch (maybe you can give it a try, see pjd's mail)
because zil removal was introduced in a zpool version after v14/15
(what's in 8-STABLE and 9-CURRENT).
