I think it would be handy if a utility could read a full zfs snapshot and
restore subsets of files or directories like using something like tar -xf or
ufsrestore -i.

I'm not sure what you want that the file system does not already provide.
you can use cp to copy files out, or find(1) to find them based on time or any
other attribute and then cpio to copy them out.

An example would be if you had a raw snapshot on tape. A single file or subset
of files could be restored from it without needing the space to load the full
snapshot into a zpool. This would be handy if you have a zpool with 500GB of
space and 300GB used. If you had a snapshot that was 250GB

Unless I misunderstand ZFS, you can archive the contents of a
snapshot, but there's no concept of a 'raw snapshot' divorced from a
filesystem.
