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?

Yes, and it saved my ass a few times. Every computer I own now and in the future will have at least mirrored or raidz disks with zfs. On all desktops, laptops, servers and nas.
Even upgrading from spinning rust to ssd was easy replacing the disks one by one and resilvering.
The (k)ubuntu installation made it very easy to have an encrypted zfs rootfs but they may have removed it on newer installation iso’s, I’m not sure…
The Kubuntu installer offers btrfs instead now (not sure about Ubuntu).
That’s such a shame. ZFS has been rock solid for me for years while I hear lots of scary stories about btrfs.
