Not really.  But just as an idea you may try to set tloader unable
vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 . Aside of obvious disabling TRIM, that is no-op
for non-SSD ZFS pool, it also changes the day deletes are handled,
possibly making them less blocking.

I see no issue here from CTL side -- it does well. It indeed does not
limit size of single UNMAP operation, that is not good, but that is
because it has no idea about performance of backing store.
