Fortunately, zfs on Linux is excellent, and is a two-liner on modern Ububtu LTS. (add PPA, install zfs.)

Is it? I've heard several complains about bugs in FUSE.

I've a friend that uses it. Can't say it is not buggy, he hit the bug where unlinked files weren't removed. Got to 95% use before finding out he had to reboot/unmount to clean things up.

But that means his pool performance is now shit.

ZFS on Linux[0] doesn't use FUSE.

Thanks, I was unaware. Apparently there is both native ZFS, and FUSE-backed ZFS for Linux:
