HAST would not be hard to do in illumos. But the trick is failure modes. In practice you can choose latency or consistency.
Modern times ha clustering is fine locally with shared storage clusters using eg shared SAS or iscsi. But you still need something like zfs send recv for DR. There are no silver bullets. If you think your Linux config is one then you haven't done the full failure analysis. Realistically HA is almost always best done at the app level rather than the OS. Because there is no magic when we're taking about commodity hardware.
