Steven,
I wrote a simple little script to create 3000 zfs filesystems and then to
share the common ancestor:
[th199096 at jhereg ~/scripts]> more tasty.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "zfs create tank/home\n";
for ($i = 0; $i < 3000; $i++) {
print "zfs create tank/home/u$i\n";
}
print "zfs set sharenfs=rw tank/home\n";
And then I executed the output:
[root at jhereg ~]> uname -a
SunOS jhereg 5.11 snv_111 i86pc i386 i86pc
[root at jhereg ~]> zfs list | wc -l
3004
[root at jhereg ~]> share | wc -l
3002
[root at jhereg ~]>
No clue as to how long it took - I went out to lunch.
nfsd was not running before I started.
So I don't think it is the number of shares and your other
experiments have supported this.
I can bump down to snv_101b, but I'm not sure that is the problem.
Some questions:
1) svcs -xv only shows that nfsd is not running, right?
2) You have rebooted at some point? We all know that makes things work,
right? :->
3) Did you change any other properties on the zfs data sets?
4) Did you change any nfs settings?
/etc/default/nfs
5) When you tried Rob's 1 share, are you sure that all of the zfs
sharenfs properties
are cleared?

I did a bug search and I saw one where secure-by-default caused nfsd not
to start. But
that was not reproducible.
Something to check though.
Thanks,
Tom
