There is at least one benefit using ZFS: encrypted subvolumes (also known as datasets).
Currently in Guix it's impossible to have a subvolume for the store and an encrypted subvolume for /home. In order to have an unencrypted root and an encrypted /home, we must put them on different _partitions_ so that we can crypt /home with LUKS. This has the big downside of imposing a fixed size at creation time. With ZFS, it would be possible to an encrypted /home without encrypting /gnu/store and without fixing the size at creation time. -- Pierre Neidhardt https://ambrevar.xyz/
