Yes, it CAN be shared R/W but it SHOULDN'T be shared R/W. You will find that any R/W zFS will end up having garbage written to it. Also, any zFS that contains vendor-distributed executables should be in a R/O zFS for security and reliability. You don't want to allow anyone to either accidentally or purposefully update vendor code which may be running with a high level of access.

The migration guide has a section about sharing zfs file systems, but I’m still not clear on this issue. So, can the root file system be shared as read/write?
