I’ve been thinking of switching from btrfs to zfs but it seems like it’s quite a bit of work. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I guess I meant it’s a lot of work to set up initially. Especially if you don’t have experience.
I think Ubuntu offers ZFS in the installer now, so not really, just go to the advanced options.
I’m using ZFS in RAID1 for my /home directory on Gentoo, but not for the root filesystem. Setting it up actually isn’t too bad. It should be straightforward to install and only a couple commands to create and mount the zpool.
When I upgrade the system, sometimes it does not autoimport the zpool on next boot, and I need to do a
# zpool import -f pool_name && reboot, but otherwise there have been no issues.General ZFS config info:
