Personally, I don't see any. Porting zfs to Linux will cost (quite) some time and effort, but this is peanuts compared to what's needed to get btrfs (no offense meant) to maturity level/feature parity with zfs. The only thing that could prevent this is CDDL licensing issues and patent claims from NTAP over zfs snapshots and other features; btrfs is free from both.
