each version of FreeBSD to have ZFS has gotten better. 7.0 was cool, but buggy. 7.1 fixed some stuff, but required a lot of tuning 7.2 amd64 made it possible to run without any tuning on some systems and now in 8.0 amd64 it's quite smooth for me. I think the benefits outweigh the issues. ZFS recently saved me from some serious data loss due to a failing raid controller. end to end data integrity via checksums is great.
