There are some very good reasons to NOT use ZFS, but this isn't the discussion I intended to start.
Then all I will say on this subject at this time is that your problems with ZFS seem to fall under "you're doing it wrong". ZFS best practices are thoroughly documented and those documents do address your complaints about ZFS.
In re Linux LVM, well, it comes as no surprise to me that the thin provisioning mechanism feels like a bolted-on hack. LVM always felt unfinished to me compared to other offerings like AdvFS, VxVM, even the volume manager that IBM created to support JFS (IBM's tools and internal consistency made up for a lot of the shortcomings in AIX). I used LVM not because it was good but because it was the only volume manager that Linux had. These days I try to avoid using LVM for anything other than basic OS volumes.
