The ZIL always exists, but it can be stored on a separate device for
performance reasons. See zpoolconcepts(7), the Intent Log section:

     By default, the intent log is allocated from blocks within the main pool.
     However, it might be possible to get better performance using separate
     intent log devices such as NVRAM or a dedicated disk.  For example:
           # zpool create pool sda sdb log sdc
