Indeed, I've already testing this on 8GB and 4GB devices, so it's on the
TODO list for the raspi kernels.

Title:
ZFS installation on Raspberry Pi is problematic
Status in zfs-linux package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Version: Ubuntu Server 20.04 - preinstalled 64-bit image for Raspberry
Pi.
ZFS on the Pi under 20.04 is currently a bit problematic. Upon issuing
the command 'zpool status', I'm helpfully directed to install
zfsutils-linux. When I do this, it complains that it cannot find the
ZFS module, then errors out. Worse than that, the zfsutils-linux
package does not depend on the zfs-dkms package, so it doesn't attempt
to build the ZFS kernel modules automatically.
The workaround is to install zfs-dkms, which builds the required
kernel modules. (Once this has been done, the usual errors when
installing the zfsutils-linux package, caused by there being no ZFS
pools on the system, can be worked around by creating a zpool, then
rerunning 'sudo apt install zfsutils-linux', as with previous versions
of Ubuntu and Debian).
I have not tested on other hardware platforms - this problem may also
exist on other platforms where the user has not selected to install to
ZFS.
I have selected 'zfsutils' as the affected package, which is not the
name of an actual current package, since launchpad won't let me submit
the bug without selecting a package, however it's not clear to me that
the problem is caused by that package.
