The concern I have, and which I expressed off-list, but maybe is

rely on this feature, then beadm would have to know to mount every
dataset that makes up the BE being mounted. That seems like a lot to
ask of beadm, and if beadm does not implement that, then splitting of /

That said, clearly / should not be split along certain lines, such as
any that would break pkg hardlink actions. What those lines are is not
this case; whether ZFS makes it harder to get allowable / splits to work
is.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that / should be a single dataset.
