Erasure Coding when it lands should be pretty solid.
Until then per-directory data replicas is the killer feature for me (Music has 3, Documents has 5, Downloads has 1). Something to be very excited about with full compression and encryption.

I don't use multiple replicas, but I use that to tailor my backups per directory. ~/documents is snapshotted and backed up on the regular, with long-lived snapshots. Code is snapshotted regularly, but snapshots don't live too long, and they're not shipped to a different drive. I don't care for ~/tmp so no snapshots.

edit: the cost, besides having to actually create the file systems, is that moving data between them isn't instant.
No more the case after block cloning support goes production: https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/13392
