That's a given and not a problem. What I fear from my understanding of this thread so far is that there might be a situation when I upgrade the zpool and the boot loader and the system ends up unbootable nonetheless. Possible or not?If all you do is upgrade, then no, modulo bugs that we've thankfully not had yet. It's when you enable something on the zpool that you can run into trouble, but that's true independent of upgrade :)
Attention, "upgrade" is overloaded here. "OS upgrade" will not render the pool unbootable (modulo bugs), but "zpool upgrade rpool" will (except we have provisions that zpool upgrade doesn't enable all features in case the bootfs property is set).
